All you did was switch distributors?

If the old one works why did you get a new one?

pretty sure, two plugs on the side and then the wires, right???

What about internally?

Is the rotor installed correctly?

Also, sounds dumb but is the spring on the end of the coil still there? One time I took my cap off and the spring went flying. I didn't notice until the car wouldn't start and I had to go back through everything.

It's hard to trouble shoot these types of things over the internet...

well it came assembled already, i dont want to take it apart, i talked to him on the phone and he is gonna let me exchange for another one...
