    You will likely get it close enough, which can be fine-tuned later. However, it can affect performance by having the timing too far retarded or too advanced.

    If you installed a brand new distribubor and it still doesn't start, go back and perform all the tests in Sections A and B of the Sticky. Be sure to check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter.

    Pretty amazing. Do you know how it got off by 5 teeth? Regardless, you got a good deal on the car.
