Tried to do a burn out and the car had intense wheel hop. Threw it into neutral as fast as I could and car died out on me couldn't get it going. . Checked everything out turns out the timing got thrown off from the wheel hop I'm assuming? Or could it be another issue at hand? Car was running fine until I decided to be an ass clown.

Was the dizzy timing clamp bolt lose when you readjusted it?

It was loose enough to adjust by hand. Still haven't tried to reset timing. I'll have to pull it out and drop it back in.

Reset your timing an tighten the retaining bolt on your dizzy this time.

Took the cap off the distributor and noticed the notch inside the rotor to keep it in place snapped. That's what had thrown the timing off. Replaced it now its running fine👌🏾. Guess I can't lay the the power down till I upgrade suspension
