It's been two for me! 200 1983

Makes me think its slightly possible that the distributor I put in wasn't working right before except I got it from a car that was running before the front seals leaked and the engine went. Its tempting to take the distributor from my 86 and give it a try just to eliminate the possibility.

The only thing at the moment that will help is finding the the correct distributor and seeing if it changes things. In the mean time I've got a u-joint to replace, struts (new with the car in box), and I'm now in the middle of getting the external oil filter, pre-pump accusump, and oil cooler off. Going to give it a well needed oil change and wait for the right distributor so I'm not running it rich and destroying the oil.

Still haven't figured out why the price of motor oil hasn't dropped. I think the 5 quart bottle I bought last night was more expensive than it was last summer. What gives. Thats another thread.
