is it new ones ur replacing it with or second hand?
or are u placing in a new CAS in all of them?

if u are replacing teh CAS are u also replacing the Dissy bearings? as when this is stuffed it sets off a orange dust and causes the CAS to stuff up, its reckomened to do the bearings at the same time as the CAS as its most likly the culprut, and its avalible in a kit i believe

nah he's been replacing the whole dizzy setup but with second hand ones... like i said get a decent NEW one and see how it goes

you should never have to replace the whole distributor. do the bearing, cas, and plug for the cas, maybe the rotor button and cap and you should be sweet.

Yep, same, clean out the dizzy, pull the whole uckin thing apart get rid of all the dust and shit replace the $6 bearing make sure the shaft isn't worn and for god sake replace the gasket on the dizzy cap!

And stop cleanin ya engine with water especially if the gasket in the dizzy is ****ed.
