your distributor isnt dead...

either your points are dead or your points replacement is dead.

pm me a good time to call...i'm like the ultimate at road-side fix-ups.....

i carry two spare dizzy's in my trunk...fully loaded and gapped.

if you can, grab a flathead, a 10mm wrench, a sharpie marker, ignition points, a condensor (available from FLAPS) and a coke and pm me when i can call you...volt meter if you got one too...it would help tremendously. Otherwise get one of those "low voltage" outdoor garden lamp bulbs and some wire....

i'll get ya going in 10 minutes.....

well, that sounds great (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) but right now im in san diego 85 miles from my car.. its at the albertsons parking lot.. all alone.. and now i just need it to get moved to Don's work shop... since i need this car to be reliable (as much as it can get hahah) for a while.. i dont have another car and i cant get up there to "test" work on it if you understand...

But if anyone is close aka, happend to have a trailer and is going by Rainbow (temecula) CA... drop my car of at dons.. its open since i cant lock it!

well, thanks guys, i hope i can move it by tomorrow.. its not easy when this is your only car. i cant get to school w/o it or nothing.

thanks guys though! you are the best!

um....

my 914 is also my DD, so you and me are in the same boat.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) I hope everything works out okay....If you could get a ride or something out there, lemme know and i'll help you out....
