Well, I feel like an idiot for having to ask this, but here goes.
I just replaced my distributor, the old one was Tango Uniform. I got it lined up, rotor set, dropped and locked down. I started the car, and it started and sounded fine.
My car has always been difficult to start, I had always suspected a timing or fuel issue (replacing fuel pump later this week). After it ran for a bit, I shut it off, pulled the sprout connector and started it again to set/verify the base timing. Well I had 2 issues with that. First, it ran like crap with the sprout connector out, second (but more importantly) there's no way to get a timing light into position to shine on the timing mark. I literally can't see it from any angle.
Any ideas?
