No easy way out.
I once unknowingly "fliped" the magnet in the distributor while I was replacing the pickup. Thus changing the polarity and phasing of the distributor. I chased the problem for a month. The engine would start and run fine up to about 2800 rpm then begin missing and just running very poorly. I worked on carb, replaced plugs,"reset air gap on reluctor" changed plug wires and on and on and on. Not until I installed a point type distributor temporarily and found it ran fine did I focus on the original distributor. When I found the problem I felt real foolish. I had sent the MSD box 2 times back to the factory to have it checked and it came back with a clean bill of health.
