I just installed a new MSD pro distrib. in my 90. The factory one had a lot of play in the shaft and I had a part throttle / cruise surge. The surge is gone and runs smooth at cruise. The problem I have now is sever hesitation off idle. This morning when the engine was cold it backfired in the intake as I was pulling out from the house. It got better as the engine warmed up but still there. Timing is set at 15 which is where the other dist. was set and yes I did put the spout connector back in. What am I over looking? Thanks for input.
