Though she was dead..... Yet she is alive.... Options

[Bulldog9]

While trying to track down a lean condition and adjust the acc pump, I also decided to check the timing. I think in doing so somehow I shorted out the pertronix ignition. While setting the timing, I noticed the timing flash became erratic, the engine started to stumble, wouldn't run at idle.

Would a bad acc pump setting (Dellorto DRLA)keep the car from starting and running? I wouldn't think so, I just set it (turned in) for a bigger squirt because at medium or high rpms, when coming off throttle and then LIGHT back on, the engine would go very lean unless I got deeper in the throttle. My goal was to give a bit more squirt so light throttle gave more gas.

Still need to verify it is the ign nodule. All connections are solid, and the spark was erratic before it died. Id definately not fuel related, at least a supply.

Is a pertronix Billet Plug and Play Distributor with an ignitor II, I'm thinking something I did hooking p the timing light shorted the module out. Before this it was solid as a rock and running strong except for the slight lean condition. Just cranks and cranks not even a kick.

Any ideas?
