Does anyone know a good shop to get a distributor rebuilt? I'm chasing electrical gremlins trying to pass aircare. There's a miss somewhere that I can't find, and I think it may be the pickup coil.

 

for what car???

 

Oh damnit I thought I had my info in my sig.

89 Firebird w/tuned port 350.

 

what have you tried so far as in looking for the issue
cap rotor coil etc....

 

New cap, rotor, plugs. Wires all measured ~300 ohms.

The plugs looked ok when I pulled them, a bit black though.

Replaced the ignition module last year, and I noticed the pickup coil was pretty crusty. Replaced the coil 2 years ago with an MSD replacement.

I've got another dizzy that looks to be in better condition, but it's been sitting in my parents garage for a year so I figure it needs at least the basic things like a new o-ring.

 

Hey Alex, your misfire is probalby due to a lean situation. My first guess would be fouled injectors and my second guess would be fuel regulator/fuel pump. Check it out!

 

I dunno. When it happens the scantool is showing 2X the rpm so I'm thinking it's a problem with the reference pulses from the dizzy.
