Thanks David. I’ll take a deeper look at the existing distributor.

I started all this after my car started taking a lot more cranks to start and was dying a couple blocks down the road even after warming up. After pushing the car home a few times I want to get it sorted.

Spark plugs were covered in black carbon so I think I’m running rich and sparks were weak or missing.

And when the car takes a while to start, it leads to flooding, which probably makes the spark plugs even worse. At least that’s my amateur take on the issue.

I‘ll take a closer look at the stock distributor today. Maybe I can just replace the spark plugs and cables and get back on the road. Or I’ll have to get the Magna Spark. What do you think?
