I'm hoping that someone else with a 75 2.0 can chime in and tell me what is missing here. Is there a screw that fell out? Look at the pic, about an inch from the tip of the screwdriver in the pic. The engine will barely start and won't stay on. Its sputtering and wanting to die.
Thanks for your help! Attached thumbnail(s)

That vibration is likely a miss. First thing? Get rid of those junk plugs! Nothing works as well as the original copper plugs. W7CC, or NGK B6ES. Then check the wires at the plug connectors, the injector plugs and the ground point on the right side of the top of the engine under the intake plenum. Did you use Genuine Bosch cap and rotor? How about the wires? The Bosch set doesn't fit. Use Beru wires. GPR, Pelican, and others sell these. The coil, points, and condenser aren't gonna create these symptoms. BTW, use ONLY Bosch points (01 011) and the correct Bosch condenser for your specific application. Anything else is just throwing money out the door.
