Re: Distributor Problems

When, or if, I ever get this figured out; you gotta know I'll put it up here.

Re: Distributor Problems

UPDATE:
I went to resistor plugs 10 months ago & I haven't had a problem since.
That includes a quick weekend drive to Lost Wages & return.

So I'm guessing the non-resistor plugs were the problem.

Sorry for the delay, but I wanted to give the plugs a decent run to make sure that they solved the problem.

Re: Distributor Problems

What gap are you running on the non resistor and the new resistor plugs??
Higher resistance = higher voltage output from the coil = more wear and tear.

Re: Distributor Problems

Good to know what the answer is...I'll file that away to hopefully keep me from having the same problem one day. Thanks for sharing.
