Quote "He claimed to have set the timing and I do believe he looked for a vac leak as well."
That's scary... WHERE did he set it? According to the original specs? Did he find a vac leak? What is the vacuum level at idle?
Where is the Vac line connected Passenger or Drivers side?

None of the 1970 distributors will work correctly with today's fuel formulations, you to get an Electronic distributor Properly curved for your exact engine and vehicle. It needs to be set up with an adjustable vac can to run off Constant Manifold Vacuum with max vacuum stroke limiters...
You need to address one thing at a time.... So lets start by getting it running...
When you say won't start? Does it turn over?
Have you checked voltage at the + coil with key in run position?
Have you checked continuity between both sides of the ballast resistor?
Is it a 4 pin or 2 pin ballast...

Well written tech article using our FBO-J685 limiter plate.
We had no input on this article and paid no one to write or print it.
MSD is all Made in China now. (Some in Mexico)
If you want it to run right you need a distributor that can be tuned to your engine specs.
You need an adjustable vac can MSD is is not adjustable and connected to constant manifold vacuum source.
1 year warranty and a high return rate... not very...
Then it does not use the ballast resistor.
Good luck with that distributor we won't touch them, in this business the last guy to touch it becomes responsible and we won't take any responsibility for MSD's Chinese imports and let MSD off the hook.

What about the Harry high-school non-vacuum advance polished billet "whiz-bang" distributors you see in the Summit and Jeg's catalogs? They're JUNK on a street-driven car, but some people keep buying them because they're "race car" parts, so they must be "good for my...
I found this article on ChevelleStuff.Net I don't know the author so I can't give valid credit.
I have tried to explain this theory to 1000's of callers over the years and most get it. However, there's still a constant stream of posts all over the web that still want to argue about how the...
Interesting article from TTAC "The Truth About Cars" Looks like were all in the right hobby....
Hagerty suggests that collectors take a look at some of Mopar’s other famous ilk, too. When the “financial flexibility” of Boomers took a hit in 2008, muscle car prices took one right to the groin...
That's good that they took care of you, nobody's perfect everybody has failures no matter how good you are, one may get past the goalie .... It's how well you look after the issue that's really important.
I should add, sorry I got distracted...The Ignitor 2 uses a .62 OHM Coil 45011 coil and the Ignitor 3 uses a 44011 .32 ohm coil
All run with no ballast at full battery voltage.
You are correct in setting them up that way Steve340
We have sold hundreds of the modules, installed 100's of the...
Reliable upgrade from points is a great Idea!
*The Pertronix Ignitor (1) is an upgrade from points but not really designed for a performance application.
*The Pertronix Ignitor 2 is a step up but lacks some features that should be considered for a performance application normally it's used to...

Distributor Removal and Installation
Removal:
1. Remove #1 spark plug and pull the coil wire off
2. Place your finger over the spark plug hole
3. Have an assistant bump the motor over until you feel air pushing your finger off the hole.
4. Use a...
