Jaywalking, before you go on any of those trails I would treat yourself to a new distributor cap. Having examined the one fitted to my 230.I can only conclude that to fit it 180deg out you would have to break a piece off, now that could lead to possible premature failure through cracking. on the other hand take a chance and get stranded somewhere inhospitable

Actually, it wasn't the cap that I put on backwards rather the shaft that the rotor sits on was turned 180 out. This occured when The I left the entire distributor too loose while driving around setting the timing (Timing marks are impossible to read with a timng light) popped out of the drive within the motor and reseated.

Sounds to me you need to slow down and double check a few things the next time you have a problem, don't sound like fixing, sounds like chasing your problem.
Fixing ant throwing parts at it, and hoping that will fix it. Ask in the future, or that G is going to cost you a fortune if you continue that way.

Trust me I have done it that way many years ago and it ant fun.

Good luck and happy you got her running
