Optispark.......Again

Problem resolve and car is running.
The MSD Billet distributor can be improperly installed by allowing the cam dowel pin to drop into one of the cam bolt holes on the rear of the distributor instead of the designated dowel slot. Interestingly the cam bolts all cleared as the dist. bolted up without any interference. This caused the rotor to be out of phase resulting in the no start.
When I initially installed it , I grabbed the rotor and tried to turn it and it did not move. I failed to turn it in the other direction which would have indicated to me the dist. was improperly installed.
Live and learn....sometimes the hard way.
