I'm officially stumped. I made sure the distributor drive gear is installed correctly as per Bentley, double-checked TDC according to valves and piston. Made sure rotor is pointing to correct cylinder (#1) at TDC, am getting good spark, set timing at 7 degrees BTDC while turning it over, Tried different coil. HT wires are going where they should. If I wind it over and over eventually it will sort of start very roughly with max RPMs at 2500, stinks like gas, and will stall if I don't keep foot on gas. It doesn't matter now which combination of points or dizzy I shove in there, won't go. Plugs are now sooty and black. Never shoulda F**d with it I guess because it was running fine before I swapped the dizzy. I should also mention that I replaced all the short hoses to injectors before changing dizzy, but no, I don't have injector wires crossed and I've looked at them ten times and the injector plugs are in right, no gas leaks. Triple-checked that I don't have any vacuum lines off, wire to cpu from coil is attached, temp II wire still connected. This is a simple engine so what the hell is going on?
