I used to be a rotary drill operator. Both with large truck mounted and smaller gas rigs. I suppose this could have been used for a tender for the smaller gas rigs. Sorta like a platform for holding the "final take out table" for 20 foot "A" rods of diamond drilling. Heck I am only saying that it would work for that in some conditions. On the other hand it might just b

Brad, That almost sounds like (kicking bac which means one of two things. Either,.. the distributor, earlier by you, got set poorly to timing mark. That is to say,.. the physical turning of the distributor clockwise or counter clockwise is way off. Most everyone controls and sets this with a timing light before tightening the hold down bolt. The other is the less likely idea that the timi

Yes, John that is likely (quite likely) before checking timing chain.

Doug,they are air postulation ports, commonly referred to as APP's. When they recast into into the larger 65 66 type, Chrysler figured dynamics due to the larger bore required two postulation ports. I also wonder if they found with only one postulation port it may get plugged. Gordo

Hey Big Bub, Whereabouts in Washington are you located? BTW, I didn't mean that one should go back to points.

Recently I had a similar pextronix problem. I have a lot of spare parts around. I put in a points style distributor with cap alomg with matching coil and ballast, and wallah!!
