help! i think i broke it

[Alan Pritchard]

Sorry, used the term loosely.
Dizzy-distributor
Used on its own refers to the spark distributor
In my mail I was referring to the fuel distributor/ metering head or
whatever you want to call it!!!!

I replaced my 4kq with an 87 5ktq, and my dizzy has a zip tie securing the 
electrical pigtail just like yours.
