LET'S TRY "KEY ON" (NOT KEY AT "START")AND THIS TEST BELOW (SEE MY 1st PIC AT THE BOTTOM) YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY.
ON YOUR VIN, STARTS OUT "J" THEN A NUMERAL. MY 1977 CJ-5 STARTS OUT "J7" MEANING IT'S A '77. IS YOURS "J8"?
DO YOU HAVE PRESTOLITE IGNITION OR OTHER? NOT KNOWING WHAT YOU HAVE OR SHOULD HAVE MIGHT MEAN YOU HAVE SOME OF YOUR IGNITION SYSTEM WRONG.
MY 3RD PIC IS OF A PRESTOLITE DISTRIBUTOR FOR A 304, NOTE THE 2 PROTRUSIONS ON THE FRONT, THEY ARE PLASTIC, ONE SIDE HAS A VACUUM HOSE CONNECTION
IF YOU HAVE A MOTORCRAFT SYSTEM, THERE IS NO PLASTIC FRONT, THE SIDE WITH A VACUUM CONNECTION WILL HAVE A METAL BELL ON IT. IT WILL LOOK SIMILAR TO MY SIX CYLINDER DISTRIBUTOR IN PIC 4
GIMME SOME ANSWERS, WE'LL GET YOUR BABY RUNNING REAL SOON, I'VE GOT MANY MORE "HOW TO" PIC, INCLUDING SOME WIRE DIAGRAMS
IN FACT, IF IT WILL RUN WILL AT "STARTING", I CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE IT RUN (JUST TO MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD/ TEMPORARY). BUT WE WILL STILL HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM TO GET IT RIGHT!
