Heading to the garage now to start the install and my main, unresolved-in-my-brain question is if i need to hook up the vacuum line that is on my current stock distributor, on the 123. |

Did you ever test spark to make sure each cylinder was actually getting spark? I know this was suggested before but I don't recall if you ever did that.
If you are getting spark, I'd consider sending the unit back for testing and/or replacement. Especially if you put your old dizzy back in and the engine wakes up again! If you put the old unit back in and issues persist, something happened during kickback, and you need to determine what it was. I'd follow hoses that could carry a pulse of pressure and test everything. There are not that many thing that could have been damaged or knocked out of alignment, so check each one. Don't pull everything off at once (like I always do because I'm frustrated). Zach |
