I've got a stock 2.0L distributor that is in need of rebuilding/refurbishing. I've looked through the vendor forum and didn't see anyone offering this service. Can anyone recommend someone to do this job?

You know, failing fuel injection trigger points caused some really weird problems with my car, that your problems sound similar to. Have you replaced the FI trigger points? Mine were no good even though testing with a meter and through the harness indicated no problems. I chased this problem for a couple of years. Replacing them really made the car run better. This was the last thing on my FI that I changed out because everything I had read indicated that the FI points rarely go bad. I'll bet the set in my car was original. My car would run great when cold, but after it heated up, maybe after driving it for 15-20 minutes, it would lose power. It sounded fine, but it would hesitate at stoplights--you really had to get on the gas or it would die while pulling away from the light. Also when under way and you stepped on the gas, it just didn't have the umph that it did when cold. Anyway, after many troubleshooting hours and many $ replacing stuff, replacing the FI trigger points nailed it. The thing runs great. I think you ought to change them out if you haven't done it before. This could also explain why your son's distributor made a difference. I have a '73 with the original FI also, by the way.

Since I've got two distros to play with I can swap my FI points into his distro and see how it does. Anything that doesn't cost money is definitely worth trying before spending $$. |
