Pickup Coil Replacement TPI 350 Firebird

1988 Formula Firebird originally had 5.0 TBI
Swapped 5.7 TPI from a 1992 Z28 Camaro

In this video, I remove the distributor from my '88 Firebird and replace the ignition pickup coil. I set the ignition timing on the car as well. I set the motor advanced 6 degrees BTDC.
This pick-up coil replacement job is pretty much the same on all Small Block Chevy's.
A simple job that takes about 35 minutes.
This was done on a 350 engine with HEI that has a divorced ignition coil pack.
Symptoms that lead me to do this:
Car would try to push some while on the brake in gear, occasional hard starts when the engine was warm, sometimes no starts, very minimum revs at idle under 200rpms
