So just about 3 months shy of 2 years ago I bought the cheapest distributor I could get on RockAuto because that's all I could do at the time.
It was about $100 and I figured it would be ok if it didn't last as long as the $150 one, it can't be that bad right? WPS this one here http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk...307&jsn=348 Lately I've been going to work at a place 30 miles away. We start at 6am and I've been running it pretty hard in order to get there on time. (85+ the whole way  ) Today when I went to leave work it wouldn't start. Checked the usual stuff and then asked blinky and he said Code 12, no signal from the dizzy. I ohmed the cam sensor pickup coils and found 250 ohms on one and 13.4 MILLION ohms on the other. Well, isn't that special. So there you have it. The $100 Chinese dizzy might get you a year and a half. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
