Sorry to hijack your post but since Art raised my issue here, thought I'd go ahead. I believe I may be closer to solving my distributor problem and hopefully it does not involve rebuilding or finding another distributor. I may find out for sure when I can get the darn thing off - maybe tomorrow. Here is a link to a picture of my exact distributor if anyone is interested: http://www.swedishautoparts.com/shop/search.php?MaxCount=10&gogo=2&extra=1332684&myCat1=z&a1=Start+Search
You can enlarge the picture and see what looks like a nylon clip that keeps the wire pigtail immobile where it exits the distributor body. My clip has completely disintegrated letting the wires move freely within. After studying the inner anatomy of this distributor from a junk one I just found, you can tell how easy it would be for the 4 blades spinning inside to either nick the wires or completely cut them if they get out of place. I may have enough damage to a wire to cause intermittent shorting, at least that's what I'm hoping for. I have had this car for about a year and have driven it maybe 50 miles. I am hoping to make a repair to the wire(s) only and get out on the road at long last. Does anyone know the part no. for this clip? Again, sorry for stepping on your post.
Jim
