I agree totally. Here's my "stupid story" for the day. Last week, I
replaced my distributor/points/coil with the "Uitimate Ignition Kit"
that Brit-Tek sells. Got it all put on, and it ran
terribly--backfiring, no power, etc. I finally gave up and limped it
over to a local LBC guru, who pointed out that even though I had
correctly remembered the firing order, as well as which lead on the
distributor was to the #1 plug, I had forgotten that the distributor
turns ANTI-clockwise, not clockwise! DOH!!!!
At least now I know that my 'B' will run on two cylinders, if it
ever has to again...
