distributor prob
Hi guys my ae86 distributor started leaking and since i had a spare distributor off an AW11 i decided to put it on.

I installed the AW11 distributor and now the car runs crappy,

Before install i set TDC on the engine and made sure the rotor arm is at the 1 position (on the cap)
Once installed it struggled to start so I twist the distributor all the way clockwise and it will run but really not well,
if i twist it anti clockwise the engine will struggle and slowly cut off.

Im using aw11 cap and leads aswell

Car was running fine with the original distributor

I dont know what i missed

any help appreciated

thx, Alex
