Oh for Pete's sake...how did I read alternators into that- sheesh...
thanks for pointing that out, Todd!
Anyhoo, I have a suggestion for your distributor, also! We have a
distributor guru in our local club, Bob Sarama. Bob rebuilds them, and
they *are* better than new, including an ingenious solution for
inadequate lubrication.
Give Bob a shout - I'll be happy to provide contact info off-list for
anyone interested...
