one thing you could try is ‘hot wiring’ it. run a lenth of wire from your battery + directly to your hei red terminal. this bypasses the key and all the wiring. once installed start as normal but this time the only thing the key does is crank it. the temp wire will be what keeps it running. if it runs you know its in the key or wiring. if you continue to have the problem you know its in the
distribtor.
