Well gentlemen finally got a chance to work on the camper. Swapped out the ignition parts that Mr. Colie suggested. I swapped out the module, pick-up and coil. Low and behold she fired right up. Now when I pulled the distributor to replace the pickup coil and reinstalled I was sure to mark everything as to line it back up with the reinstall. Now when I start it up it feels like it grabs “hard” when I start it up. It fires up every time I go to start it up but not sure what is going on with startup now. Could I have advanced the timing on the distributor when reinstalling it just enough for it have that feeling of grabbing more aggressively at startup.
Thanks again for the help
Jimmy,

In simple terms, you sure could have.

Without meticulous and accurate markings, getting a removed or replaced distributor installed back at time is very difficult.

Get out the belly board and your timing light and be ready to reset it.

Glad you found the problem.

Matt
