RE: new electronic distributor problems

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I bet you anything your neutral safety switch issue is that the trans is 
out of adjustment. There are a couple easy things to do without 
adjustment to make it work. The simple way is to take your car out of 
park. Put it in reverse and then put it back in neutral or in drive and 
back to neutral and park. Then try it. If this works it's the 
adjustment. If you're stuck you can jumper the wire from the trans on 
the relay to ground and it will start. I think it's the upper drivers 
side wire.

Regarding your ignition, I had lots of problems with my old electrical 
system and it messed with my ECM/ECU whatever. You should get the newer 
solid state voltage regulator. That will help. I gotta think you really 
have enough juice from your alternator even if it's 35amps but the age 
which causes resistance through bad connections and corrosion can cut 
down your voltage. If you put a big alternator on an old system you are 
begging for trouble. Further down in the posts Schyler mentions what he 
did and that's probably a good way around the old wiring issue.

Good luck.
