Well I just got a backfire. Which would make me believe the timing may be
off. Seems like I had a similar problem after my engine rebuild and it seemed
the firing was at the opposite point of where it should have been. I am not
sure why this would occur since I had not removed the rotor or the plug
wires.
I did notice my brake warning light was coming on when trying to start the
car. I am not sure if that is an issue, since I had not been paying attention
to those lights when starting the car and I do not drive it that often.
I did get a new coil wire just to check and I am seeing spark from the wire to
a ground.
I went ahead and replaced the distributor since I had to go back to my old one
a few months ago when the ball at the coil wire fell out. So I needed to
replace that anyway.
I tried to purchase a rotor cap, but the two parts stores were showing stock,
but could not locate them. I may have to try another store tomorrow.
