RE: [DML] Re: Can someone explain this? (distributor positioning)

Wow.  That is the EXACT same problem I had with a customer car up here in 
NC.  EXACT SAME.

Unfortunately I got it running the day before he picked up the car and we 
were never able to determine the cause.  We used the EXACT same solution and 
the car runs perfect just as yours does.  With the FV NOT buzzing it ran 
crappy.  We jumped the Full Throttle Switch and it ran perfect and he drove 
it home with no problems whatsoever.

This may be some kind of new anomaly.  I wish I had more time with that 
particular car as it woulda been nice to figure that one out.
