another hard to start Renix..

Just a follow up. After I replaced the distributor it fires up pretty much right away. the pickup in the dizzy was a little corroded and I imagine getting a weak signal. Also, I indexed the new dizzy. It wasn't too far off anyway tho.

Glad you got it going well.

Just to clarify, did you check the indexing of the old dizzy?

The "pickup" as you call it has nothing to do with ignition at all.

Try this:
Unplug the "pickup" connector and start your Jeep......

I never indexed the old one. I will cut it and keep it as a spare tho. What happens with it unplugged?
