RE: [DML] more issues with my ignition - update

["John Hervey" <john@xxxx>]

Hank, If everything seems ok and it still won't start. Remember, When the
air flow plate goes down the control plunger in the fuel distributor goes up
which feeds the injectors.
Just as an FYI:If there are any vacuum leaks, that will make a difference on
how far the plate goes down as the plunger goes up. If the air metering
plate is not in perfect alignment with the ventura it will make a
difference. When your cranking, the plate will go down and the control
plunger may need 1/8 th turn to enrich because it isn't rising high enough.
By disconnecting the ISM would be like chocking the air so the plunger will
go higher: hence the car started.

For those keeping track, here's the latest update. The car finally did
start today, but I'm still not sure exactly what the problem is - read on.

I've replaced the stock coil with the MSD 8202 unit ($40 from a local shop).
I got differing opinions on using the stock versus a replacement
compensating resistor, so I just installed the new coil and used the stock
resistor. I now have a good blue spark off the coil.
