After lunch today I was going to start the engine and let the new cam and lifters break-in, but the engine didn't want to start. After trying several things I thought/hoped would help but didn't, I ran the trouble shooting guide for the XR-i ignition.
Once I had it isolated to the secondary system I swapped the rotor but that didn't help so I replaced the cap.
When I had pulled the spark plug wires out of the distributor cap I knew I had found the problem because the coil and #3 terminals were black - not nice clean brass like the other terminals.
Cap and rotor are not 6 months old - they are Accel brand products. Plug wires are also new. This is just a problem I should not have had.
Anyway I did get the engine to start - so I will get the cam broke-in in the next few days.
