I purchased a stock distributor(brand new, no kragen shit) and it has been working ever since without a hitch. Also, if you haven't changed your fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, that might help a bit too. Also, when you change the distributor, adjust the timing depending on what mods you have. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
