Hey peeps. This is my first real post. So my beloved '96 Chevy started puking coolant; the classic intake gasket break-down. So I replaced them, no problem. But when I was putting my distributor back in, the plastic housing around the front screw broke. I JB welded it back together. Cheesy, I know, but it should hold I think. But now it's hiccupping and missing at part throttle. Would it be that fussy that a partial misalignment of the cap to the lower distributor housing would cause this? Or is my timing just a bit off? It still starts fine, both hot and cold. Thanks for any help.

 

your timing is off... and ill bet your computers trying to compensate... how much you wanna bet you put it in one tooth off

 

That has happened to many people I know of.
There is finally a better solution to the stock plastic distributor - Accel Billetech #60116
