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. |

Lining up the notch on the flywheel with the case split involves less contorting and inspires more confidence for me. Once that’s aligned I do a quick check of the fan to ensure the “0” is visible in the cutout..
At this point I think it’s best to get back to baseline. Confirm TDC. Ensure rotor points to wire going to #1 plug. Check all connections on FI harness, grounds and ignition harness. Follow 123 install and static timing instructions. If the engine still sputters. Put the old distributor back in. If it runs like it did before, you know the problem is the 123. If it doesn’t run well, it’s something else. I know it’s a pita but you’ll get through this with methodical troubleshooting. |
