DL,
Is it possible that the Distributor was not taken out & put back reversed

M38A1 Project:
I completed a project, but after realizing how much damage there was, I
should have taken the tub off. It would have saved a lot of multiple
handling & labor.
Contact me off list prior to your M38A1 project. Where are you located ???
I can save you time by giving you sources for items & a list of reference
material.
