Didn't we have a joke of the day thread or similar years ago? I'm losing my mind is the joke for today but I heard a funny Rodney Dangerfield one too. "I woke up and looked in the mirror and told my wife, oh my wife what a catch, that I had wrinkles and was losing my hair. I asked my wife, what a great wife, for a compliment. I needed one. She says you still have good eyes."

Here's a great thread that I just found that hits on your situation. Read it.

This shows the blue the first from the left and black/white the second. From Blue's Tech Tip bible of facts.

I've burnt up my allowance for today.

It'll be on this forum forever. Your user profile keeps all our attachment photos.

There should also be a ground wire on the bottom bolt hole of the distributor's pedistal. They're on my cars.

A bit repetitive? re·gur·gi·tate /rəˈɡərjəˌtāt/ repeat (information) without analyzing or comprehending it Sorry Shawn, I'm bored. It's pouring rain here.

I like Popeye's spicy. Glad you got it after 40 years. That's amazing! I would never been able to find it.

Could one of the small glass fuses under the radio have blown when the starter link failed. I'm pretty sure there's one for ignition.

I have a '72 manual and use a trigger type remote starter from Autozone. I connect the 2 clips on the starter. One on the positive terminal from the battery and the other on the spade connector on the solenoid after pulling the female side off. Small wire on solenoid.

Wow, that is a good number. Maybe the Hagerty article had something to do with it? Thanks Mr Beck.

Can you bend the whole bracket down anymore, the pin holder?

You have a 240/260 pedistal and a 280 distributor. I wonder is that compatible components? Here's what you have. Heres a 280 distributor . The timing plate and pedestal are different.

I got a fake ID that says I'm 3 years older, 18 to 21, from the late 80s. Is that acceptable? If so that would put me at the right age to be a GeeZer.

The way the cap is made it will only fit one way and snap down. If your's doesn't have the marker line no problem. The cap fits down 1 way. only. You can not fix this by moving the cap around, it will not snap into place. You need to listen to what every bodies telling you. You came here for help, we're trying but you don't seem to understand that. No short cuts.

Run both on rear tops. I've got some Grose valves I will send you thanks of our hero @240260280 I'm keeping the new ones, you can have the used ones.

There's my smarter guy!

Here's something recent that may help if you read through.

That last pic is better, small facing radiator. You need to definately confirm tdc compression. It's not that hard to do if you look back over the threads we've posted. First 2 cam lobes point north west and north east almost like rabbit ears. Get it to true tdc and if the small side of the spindle faces the radiator you should be able to reinstall the dizzy, advance it all the way clockwise and get it to crank. Some of the smarter guys will correct me if I'm wrong. Love those guys!

P.s It's very common that happens. Guys that just don't know do it all the time. My pride and joy 240 was bought for pennies from some Ford shop because it wouldn't run. I got on this wonderful forum and bought tom monroe's book and figured it out. Now it's my casket.

It's 180 degrees off plus a tooth or 2 off the spindle gear. The small side should be facing the radiator. Your's, the windshield. You have to drop the oil pump to correct this. It's not a big deal just a big pain in the arse being your so close to cranking the motor. Your's The correct way...

My God at the Stars on that stage! Never heard this before.

Did those cars have vinyl on the tunnel like the 240s? My '77 is "door to door" carpeted.
