Great job.  I had a 4ks (4 cyl) that when I bought it ran great (test drove 
for like 10 miles.)  We trailered it home 3 hours, I drove it off the 
trailer, drove less than 1/4 mile and it died.  Pushed it into the 
driveway, came outside later, it started fine, died down the 
street.  Fortunately I live at the bottom of a hill either way on the 
road.  Went out the next day, same thing.  I tested for spark immediately 
after the 3rd failure, no spark.  I went to the local breakers (darn, been 
reading the other posts too much) and got a 4 cyl distributor from a VW 
Golf.  Went right in, and car started right up, has run fine since (but 
sold over 2 years ago.)
