I have been absent for a while and my car has sat, but upon running the car around i notice that the power was gone in the upper RPMs. I put electronic ignition in it thinking that might help, but it did not. After taking it to a shop they told me the distributor was bad.
The shop wants me to replace the distributor which is the original vacuum advance one, with a 123 distributor. I am looking to sell the car, so putting a $500+ distributor is not on my agenda. Is there any way to loose the vacuum advance or am I stuck having this original one rebuilt. Not looking to break the bank either. Aidan |

Rather than just throwing parts at it, find out what really wrong and fix it. What is a "bad" dizzy? How is it bad? What part needs replacement - the trigger points or just the braided wire. The fix could cost you little or nothing or you can just throw lots of money at guessing and still not fix it. The real issue may not even be dizzy related un;less you verify that everything is in order. Supposedly your mechanic did that?
