found what i was talkin bout!

The HEI mod (under FAQ) that replaces the ignitor. From what I'm reading, it sounds like that is my best option since these distributors are crap. I found a reman. one at NAPA for about $240 that has a one year warranty. But if i can get a permanent solution for under ...

water in tail pipe, car dies at normal temp (WTF??)

Everyday, my car starts just fine every morning, and runs fine...no odd noises, or anything out of the ordinary. But when it hits normal operating temp, it shuts off.
