Default running roughI have a rebuilt 350 in my 68 camaro with a MSD 8360 distribuator and a

I have a chevy 350 motor in my 68 camaro. It has a MSD 8360 distribuator with a lunati cam,489-504 lift. It will start but runs rough and won`t idle. I don` have enough voltage to #1 plug wire to use my timing lite. Can you help thank

Hooking the timing light to the coil wire gives you the same result as using the #1 plug wire. Do you have good juice there?

Hmm... I'm guessing you just put the distributor in?
If your voltage works out per 69's suggestion, ask yourself this.

Did the car run good before the new distributor?
If yes, double check your firing order. If no, re route your wires accordingly.
If yes, then check to make sure that your distributor isn't 180 degrees out.

If all that check out, is this a new cam, and did the car run fine before the cam?
If yes, double check your lash. I'm assuming you have a hydraulic flat tappet cam? The cam isn't too radical that it would throw your carb off too far.
