How could you "forget" to jumper the ALDL when the timing is done?

Goes to show that when helping someone diagnose a problem here that we can't assume anything.

Oh well, you've got guts to admit what you did (or in this case, didn't do).

Well damn, even with the old distributors you had to disconnect the vacuum advance before doing the ignition timing!

Well, at least we can all rest assured that, after this, I'll never make that mistake again XD
