    I think you really need to look at all this. Your post on new dist. sorta hard to follow, No sure if car turns over and no spark or what?

    But if you have some starter problems and dizzy is blowing, Get the puter going an hit the tech sites for the purchased products, or give good details of all the problems in detail here.

    I think you are getting voltage spikes and stray voltage causing your problems. Keep us posted. Good luck

    So they want you to use the relay down on the starter rather than the fender mounted relay. Personally, I dont like that set up because you have a heavy gauge, constant hot wire running under headers. I wonder why it's not a problem on some but for others, it is. I use the fender solenoid and jump the powermaster one out. Weird stuff.

    You may need to shim your starter so the mesh will no be as tight

    I have mine wired with the jumper on the starter and don't have a problem. I had read that it could cause a starter run on issue like Frank experienced. I am sure it is possible that one day mine will start doing the same thing.

    Frank glad that fixed it. (y)
