Distributor Rebuild Tutorial.

I had a nasty issue with my 88GT spiking tach, sputtering engine, was driving me nuts. Turned out all to be related with the Ignition Module and Pickup Coil. So I decided to quickly do up a tutorial.

This was a reply to another member asking about ignition parts. However I think could be added here, in case anyone else wants to go with the MSD stuff.

Ebay is a great source for many of these parts if you want the best deal and are not in a rush.

I like the MSD box as it fires the plugs roughly 6x per crank revolution, so you get the best torque and gas mileage. However for a car that does not get driven much, its a waste of money. However I drive mine between Oregon and BC so often it has paid for itself many times over. (I get 32mpg on the highway) Plus the added torque is just a bonus.

Note these prices are a few years old, but should be close.
