Distributor
What's a good replacement distributor? Rusty recommended the Napa one which is part #NRD481830. What are some other ones that I should look at? Anyone have the GM part # for an OEM replacement? I have a feeling my recent car trouble is related to the distributor. Even if it's not things are looking pretty nasty with the original one in the car. Also what's a good ignition coil replacement? It's time for a major overhaul on my ignition on the car since a lot of the stuff is original and getting corroted. If anyone can throw me some part #s to take a look at it will be greatly appreciated. I want to get this car moving again.

Unfortunately I work the hours the parts dept is open at the dealerships plus I really hate dealing with the parts guys. I am just asking to see if someone on the board had the part # off hand since then I can have my sister's BF find out his cost on it. He's a dealer at Crest Chevy. The only reason I mentioned OE is b/c look how long the GM one in my car lasted. I just wanted to know if anyone had knew of any other ones I should look at that maybe had better performance or better value.

The GM part number has been discontinued (or at least that's what Power Chevy in LB told me...) They said the only way to replace it with GM parts was to piece it together separately at a cost of approximately $715 dollars. You could practically buy a magneto for that kind of money.

Just take yours out and replace the pickup coil, module and change the cap and rotor as long as the bushings are good then a new one wouldn't be any better.

Nigel, here is the part number from Scoggin Dickey:
Part # 1103952
Price: $169.95
I actually purchased one of those distributors for the IROC it claims to be a 'GM Performance Late V8 Distributor - This complete distributor is used on late model V8 engines with fuel injection and computer controls.'
I hope that helps

That's exactly what I was looking for. How is it working out for you? Is it exactly like the OEM one? It looks like it.
