ok, i parked my carbureted, 86TA long ago, now no spark. i replaced the ignition module and still no spark. i'm thinking about just getting an entire new distributor on ebay because they're cheap but i'm not sure which one will work with my car. i'm really busy so i just want a high energy distributor that will drop-in so i can get this **** started. i don't want to have to screw around any more. there's a plethora of cheap new distributors on ebay from which to choose. any suggestions.

 

One of the biggest problems I have found with the cheap eBay distributors is the right distributor drive gear.i would recommend swapping the drive gear from your old distributor to the new one no matter what it says in the ad.you don't want to take a chance.it Will not end well if they put the wrong gear on there.I have found the ones from summit work good they are cheap.

 

I have a fairly new MSD 8366 distributor with a composite gear on it for sale for $220 shipped. It might have 100 miles on it. The gear alone cost $100 and the dizzy cost 200

 

that's valuable info, THANKS!

i'm looking for one that has everything included, the pickup coil and ignition module. has anyone bought one of these on ebay?

 

forget cheeeeep , you want reliable and quality , two things not at all related to cheeeep ( read china ) just repair what you have and be happy

 

Are you using a computer or pre computer hei with the vacuum can?
I have used 2 of those $50 generic made in china hei's with no issues. Considering all delco stuff seems to be made there I was willing to give it a shot. 60000 miles with zero problems. I would not take a chance with the hecho in china distributor gear on a roller cam though.

 

sorry for the delay, i'm working on an 81 SECA 750....

i don't know. i'll look for the vacuum advance. it's an 86, 305, WS6 with a carb...
