Meeky Moose Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 yeah, prolly bad disty.. do you have the hitachi, or the nipondenso? the disty outa the 83' engine i put in my hatch had a hitachi, and i swapped it with the nippon, since i already had new cap rotor, etc.. so if ya got a hitachi and need one, i got one sittin here..
