Now more issuesUpdate as of yesterday: Bout a new coil, made it run a lot better, but it was still losing spark at random. So in the moment and a test at autozone I got a new tfi yesterday. After a bunch of starting and immediately dying, finally got it to idle on its own enough to set the timing. Pulled the spout, got the timing light out and did it the right way. I need to check today again because it was hard to see last night but I believe the timing is now set at 10* (base timing). Well after plugging the maf back in I gave it a few small revs and it sounded great. Rev'd it up to around 3k and let it fall down by itself and it fell down and stalled out on me. After that I couldn't get it to start for the life of me. I was getting fuel (I could smell it) but I'm pretty sure I wasn't getting spark. I'm starting to think it could be the distributor. But i'm also missing a screw on the TFI. Could the TFI not be tight enough to the heat sink? I'm going to mess with it some more today so any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!</blockquote>
