Do you have your old dist?

[mushman]

Yes I have old distributor- it is frozen solid will not spin........

Update- running great, I don't know what I did or it did but it started this morning ran great.......puzzled but I will not fight it.

Todays plan was to complete a compression/leak check but since it is running I am not messing with success.

If it's not broke don't fix it. Hope it stays that way.
