does anyone make one for a tbi??? i had a gm stock one and it died on me, so i did the auto zone thing and i've been through 2 all ready and it needs a 3rd. wondering if this throttle body motor is even worth messing with anymore!!

 

Ive never messed with the aftermarket stuff but i know there are aftermarket CC-HEI distributers available for your application. A cheaper alternative would be to buy a good module so you no longer have to keep replacing the distributer. A good gm replacement module would probably solve most of your problems. Also make sure the rest of the ignition system is in good shape. Theres not much need to use aftermarket stuff on your motor. The stock ignition system will work well on most motors, especially stock ones.

As a side note, so long as your not left stranded, most distributer problems are relatively minor compaired to the other stuff that can go wrong.

 

Accel and MSD are the only 2 I know of. Both to the tune of roughly 300 clams.

 

Most of the cheap AutoZone ignition modules (that aren't AC Delco) tend to have a very high failure rate. Get a Delco and you should be fine, short of a serious wiring problem in your car.

 

i havent had a module problem, just play in the shaft causing the timing to jump around while im drving

 

where can i buy that distributor. i was going to try a salvage yard but i dont think i want to waste money. just go ahead and do it right

 

How much end play was there? I have one (just the dist. itself) and it doesnt seem too bad.

Im sure Jegs or Summit carries the dist. your looking for.

 

Quick look at Jegs shows they carry both distributers ment for use with remote coils. ~240 for the accel and ~290 for the MSD.

 

not trying to be a pain, but do you have a part number for that?? im away from the catolog and i can just call them with a part number.
another question is do you know what all i would need to burn a chip for my 1992 chevy c1500 with a 350. i have been reading and reading and posting on other boards and people have hyperlinked me to other web pages, but there is so much stuff i dont know what i shoud buy???
