What is the voltage to the distributor? HEI wants a full 12V. No resistor wire or ballast resistor. Possible a PO missed that when they swapped out the points setup.
Yes the second distributor was brand new. Voltage to the distributor is 12v but drops to 7-9v while cranking. But the starter is bad because it cranks very slow then fast then slow again. Maybe it's drawing too much power?
