Default Re: distributor swap out question

My money would be on fixing the original distributor. They just don't quit for no reason. Try a different capacitor (condensor) first as this is the simplest. Check to see that there are no shorts to ground by using your ohm meter. Put some new points in and adjust them correctly. You can test the distributor out of the car by using your ohm meter.
