Re: [DML] If it's not broke, don't break it...

Pete, Could you have possibly messed up the timing by moving the ignition 
distributor when you replaced the cap. Is the rotor down good? Cap must also 
snap into it's position. Run through the check list. 
13 degrees before TDC is the initial setting. Then look while the timing 
light is hooked up to see if you have advance when you rev up the engine to 
2000 rpm, advance should be close to 40 degrees BTDC. See D:04:01. Once you 
have determined it 's not timing or advance. Then I would look into fuel. 
Black plugs usually means it's running to rich. I would then think you need 
to adjust the CO setting. You could also have low pressure on the top of the 
control plunger which would allow it to rise to high and cause an enrichment 
problem. Refer to D:02:01 for proper settings of fuel pressure. Be sure to 
check the 02 sensor, and the frequency valve, If the lambda circuit isn't 
working properly, the lower chamber of the fuel distributor could be allowing 
to much fuel to the injectors also.
Just a few hints.
