It seems though that I may have found the problem. I remember noticing that when I replaced the vacuum parts, the rotor didn't seem to be rotating very freely. I took the cap and rotor back off and tried to turn the "dog ears" (The place that rotor bolts to, I guess that's what they are called). The dog ears had hardly any slack and wouldn't let me turn them as far as to where they would spring back like they are supposed to. I called the mechanic and he said that they can freeze due to rust suggested that I try WD-40 and try to work them back and forth until it became free. So far I have had no luck, before I got feed-up, I sprayed a heavy dose of penetrating oil in hopes that it will soak in over night and free it. If I get mad enough, I'll just by a new distributor, I've been wanting to anyway due to all the rust inside of mine. I still would rather have this one going though. | | | |
