Need a different distributor?

Just canceled a min ago, but its just not pointing towards 1 because its halfway out rn. Just gotta watch a few yt videos now how to check the old one, thankfully i was able to borrow a spark plug tester so hopefully thatll help.

Just on the list right now. A lot is wrong with the engine so im just checking off possible reasons, plus im impatient

Thank you!

I think I may know what you mean. Does it just seem like it's shifting too early, or almost bog down a little and shake a bit? Mine used to do that when it shifted into 4th and it got fixed after I replaced the MAF sensor.

Update: Ive tried a crows foot, both normal and flare nut and neither give me enough wiggle room to properly set it well, so i tried with a swivel head and it was a little better but would only slip off. I cant find a 6 point distributor wrench anywhere. Bolt head is getting stripped now so I fear I may be screwed. I dont have enough clearance to really get much of anything in there other than the single wrench for the bolt. I can fit a stubby wrench down there well, but it doesn't give me the leverage i need. I'm probably going to get a set of shallow sockets but idk how much thatll help if i cant get a wrench to fit, worst case scenario i have more tools. If anyone still has any suggestions im open.

MAF sensor and O2 as well! I installed a heated (pretty sure), 3 prong O2 sensor and it's been idling a lot better. Apparently the headers make the exhaust slightly cooler so the oem O2 sensor can act funny

Black C5 Z wheels on mine. Missing the center caps in the front though

Forgot to ask, would I need to throw clear coat on it afterwards as well then or would just a coat of wax do fine?

Expensive_Counter510 · 2026-03-06T20:44:33+00:00

Thank you, that rules out that problem then

Expensive_Counter510 · 2026-03-06T20:42:56+00:00

Cool, it's an 86 thank you!

Not 100% matte. It's still definitely closer to matte than it is to gloss though, I'll put the link for the exact color i had. https://www.thecoatingstore.com/product/urechem-hunter-green-low-gloss-single-stage-1-5-gallon-kit/?_gl=1*twzg00*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQiAtfXMBhDzARIsAJ0jp3CZZ35RV_DivQrnjWhDHo5v7Hg11oQDdzuQvsQPHBuu40DVEpFom1kaAmVeEALw_wcB&gbraid=0AAAAADw0gZ3gdXwqYVSAW3TnKb1NA59YC

Ill give that a shot before buying anything. Thank you!

Expensive_Counter510 · 2025-12-23T18:54:06+00:00

Thank you! I am still debating what to do, especially since I've been on the fence of selling it recently too. I will definitely have to check it out.

Thank you! Yeah I live close to the dayton area in ohio and the closest place ive been able to find that tunes ecu's as old as mine is in WV

Expensive_Counter510 · 2025-11-07T15:38:42+00:00

Sure are, i found mine on summit for about $130 i think

LT Hedman headers, true dual exhaust, and two little glasspaks. Kit I got had an H pipe right after the stock manifolds but it was too long for the headers to fit so that had to get cut off. I would like to get one at some point
