okay i have this new/used distributer that i bought from a guy on ebay and its an accel model number 30100t, the guy said it was for our cars well anyway my question is what do i have to do if it doesnt have the points
i need to install it but i dont know what to do with it well anyway if some one knows please help me out
I couldn't find the part # but I'd start with making sure it was the right one ..and find the right part # then search here for installation..someone's bound to of covered it somewhere on the electronics side.
Have you taken the cap of to check if it has points?
well sometimes it is very very sluggish gettin goin some times it has a super low idle it starts to jump i,m thinkin about jus sellin it at a swap meet and get a stocker from summit

Odds are 1000 to 1 that your distributor is NOT your problem.
even with almost 170k??? so maybe just a good tune up, or could it be a fuel problem?? i doubt that because sometimes i hit a hard corner and throw it in to second or third dependin how fast im goin and it will almost die. ie from high rev to will not rev about 1000

if you really think it's a problem with your distributor, it would be your timing. I would first replace your fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, cap & rotor, and oxygen sensor before ever thinking about the distributor.
has the car had a good tune up..thats normally the best place to start diagnostic's..
170k doesn't sound to long to me..you cam isn't worn out, or the crankshaft so I don't think the distrubutor gear would be dieing on ya'.
give everybody some basic info on where your car is at right now in terms of maintence done and tune..and it'll help someone advise ya well.
good luck
the plugs are about a year and a half old, as long with the cap and rotor and wires i think there is a vaccume leak where the dist is the hose broke off here and other than that i think the timing is off scratch that i know its off
well before you go to town swapping out dizzys..check out those other 2 things. A busted hose and setting your timing is childs play..putting in a new dizzy?? I dunno sounds like a headache if something goes wrong like you line up the gear teeth wrong etc..
wanting to sell your car because it's dumbfounded you is something that happens to most of us.
today i have changed the plugs cap and rotor and fuel filter. also im gettin my new shocks and struts on tomorrow the oil change i know oh well i save the easiest for last, i have been changin it every 2500
ok i strongly belive this is a timing prob because it hesitates when i hit it or some times its a gradual build up, but just to be sure im goin to change the fuel filter i never got around to it the other day where is it exactly
