Ok! Let's beat this to death! Yee-haw!

When I finished my 302 rebuild and I was reassembling my engine, I dropped the distributor 180 degrees and it actually started....barely and sputtered a bit and after scratching my head for a while and making adjustments over and over, I got mad and just spun the thing completely and viola! No more problems.

I went through the whole distributor gear thing when doing my carb swap. The standard bronze gears disintegrate in about 5 minutes under the steel gear of the cam. I tore up 2 gears before I realized what was wrong! Good thing the chips fell harmlessly down and came out with the oilchange. I had to get an aftermarket steel gear from FMS.
