Oddness.  I had my fuel distributor upside down and
was cleaning it out underneath (bottom of sensor plate
and all that).  Checked the sensor plate this AM and
it moves properly and is set correctly).  I thought
about the plunger getting stuck since it was upside
down and in all sorts of positions.

Getting good fuel to at least the coldstart injector,
and based upon the high HC odor from attempting to
start so often, I would have to say the fuel dizz is
working OK.

I got the week to think it through. If I have to take
that damn lower timing cover off one more time, though...
