Stupid Distributor Questions

I'm going on the idea you haven't just re-done everything on your engine.
The oldest Tech artical read from Mopar when you are haveing a missfire problem is to replace the bearing under the distributor. That would be the IDEAL TIME TO REPLACE THE POINTS DIST. TO AN ELECTRONIC UNIT. Go with the Mopar Performance unit. It is tried and TRUE. The bushing below the dist is most often overlooked and cause spark scatter at upper rpm.
Next is to look at the spark plugs after 1000 miles. If the plugs are white then, you have a vacume leak or a really bad lean intake charge.
You must take these problems one at a time or you have NO BASIC IDEA OF WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING. Many problems mask other problems. If you listen to every tom dick and harry you can run around like a chicken with it's head chopped off. Replacement of the brass bushing will only cost a few dollars. Replacement of the dist with a Mopar Performance will cost you about $150 and this is something that you will profit from regardless so there is no downside to this swap. Mopar Performance Ignitions are good to 7500 rpm at least and will overcome a lot of small problems with your setup.

Just thinking out loud...................


PS: If you buy the Mopar Performance unit, Upgrade to the Chrome Box. The Orange Box has proved to be junk.
