    Bad sounding engine noise

    So i finally installed my new distributor today and it started right up

    Bleed the cooling system out and got rid of the erratic idle issue but i have this really really shitty sounding noise

    Also why does the temperature gauge do that? I had this as my ground setup, wire from the body to the valve cover and second wire to the PS bracket. When its hooked up like this the wire from the valve cover to the PS bracket gets very hot and started smoking.

    This is how its setup

    EDIT: just realised the larger wire goes on the PS bracket first and then the smaller one goes to the valve cover. I fixed it but i still get the eratic gauges.



    And this is the video of the car running ( cel is on for EGR and knock sensor )

    could a bad knock sensor cause this and a bad egr? maybe? take the cap off the dizzy to see if everything checks out n looks good still. sometimes ive had the rotor hit the points in the cap. or that cylinder positino sensor thing off and took it back. just an idea.

        There is no way in hell im ever touching the sensors inside the distributor. That is the reason the first distributor failed. I feel pretty confident that this distributor is good. I really need to get a new exhaust manifold so the car isn't so loud and i can home in on strange noises

            Check/replace your plug wires. Its possible one is damaged enough to leak energy into the valve cover. This would explain the melting wire between the valve cover as the plug wires are the only source of electricity up there. Bad wires can cause emi also which may be messing with your gauges. The erratic idle could be caused by wires too.

              After i fixed the wire and moved the thicker ground to the PS bracket and the smaller one to the valve cover it no longer got hot. The path of least resistance must be through the PS bracket which explains that. I did double check the ground on the thermostat and its still there hooked up correctly. Im pretty sure these are new plug wires but i have a spare set so ill go check that.

              Im also not sure of the battery voltage while running but the battery is brand new and fully charged
