Hi Ron . . .

thanks for the reply.

I have to confess that the ONE thing I didn't touch is ignition timing.

The car ran like a scalded cat before the cam wheel broke, and I didn't remove the distributor, just replaced condenser, points, rotor, and cap, so I don't understand why I would have to reset the timing if I put both gear wheels back onto the crank/cam with the timing marks pointing directly toward each other (4th cylinder on TDC ready to fire).

What am I missing here?
