poor dyno numbers from 408 :(

Well, I figured you were all nice enough to shoot me ideas, and even though I am waiting for the parts, I am fairly confident that the problem is the timing.

Took the cap and rotor off, and no springs or bushings, it is all removed. The shaft is "locked" out as the stuff on MSD's website shows, so I called them up and they are sending me all the different springs and bushings...for free!!! Got to say MSD is gonna be my next ignition.....if I ever quit being a chep @#$.

The only reason I can figure they have it locked out is because maybe this distributor was bought for or once used on a fuel injected car...any other ideas why they would have done this?

Last problem is the dang thing hot starts pretty bad after driving it, then stopping for a few minutes, then starting it back up. I have the timing backed down pretty far, but I am thinking maybe it needs a ignition retarding box. Any one have this problem or experience with these?
