 I've made that mistake before years ago. When I first bought the JH, I went to adjust the distributor and before I knew it I was standing there with the distributor in my hand saying oops. I didn't have the wisdom of this forum to back me up. It took quite a while to get back in. I'll never make that mistake again!

I have standard points and condenser. Is it as simple as getting the crank to TDC, then rotating distributor so cylinder 1 is centered on the rotor. Then it should fire. Start and then adjust to 10 degrees BTDC.
