Thanks ya'll. Bobby, its not that I'm afraid to ask, its just that its hard to explain. I've often been on the receving end of those conversations that go something like "my car is making a rattling noise, whats wrong?"...and people will ask if they get the drift that you have even the slightest car knowledge haha. Basically the only way I know how to explain it, is I've replaced the distributor in the car 3 times...between 79k miles when I bought it and the current 117k. Now I will be honest and admit that I only bought piddly ones from discount auto parts, because I had no intentions of spending large amounts of money on a motor I didn't want to keep anyway. The last 2 were done within the year, and I got free replacements, so it didn't bother me to just keep the car going. With this last one, something has always been "funky". The car was down for about a year and a half, due to the fuel pump taking a crap. The stocker went out right after I bought the car in 2000, and before I knew much about it period. So I had a friend throw a slightly bigger Holley in there. Well that thing too bit the dust and by that time I knew what it needed. I purchased a Walboro 255lph and had a friend help install that about a year ago. We had to clean the tank out, change the plugs, the oil, grab a new battery, and several other minor things. Back to the "funky" part of the distributor, for the longest time if the car wouldn't start I could jiggle a wiring harness that goes into the dist. and then I could hear something prime, almost like when you turn the key forward and the fuel pump turns on, maybe it was the injectors priming? I really have no idea, but after a few months, jiggling that wire didn't work anymore, and I could get the car to turn over, and even almost get it to fire up if someone messed with the wire while I was turning the key forward, but it wouldn't full start or stay running. I know its a long drawn out explanation, but thats where I'm at haha.
