Evening, y'all!
Well, after replacing the fuel pump and that not having any effect on 
the running of my car (the mechanic said the old one was making 
hellacious noises though... it was a Walbro unit that was way too small 
for the application and is now replaced with a Bosch OEM unit), I think 
I found my problem.  After talking to someone who knows about 
distributors and such, I found out that the carbon brush in the cap 
that's supposed to contact the rotor and transmit the spark is gone!  
All this frustration over something the size of my thumbnail!
Autozone has both the cap and rotor for less than 20 dollars.  Anyone 
have any good or bad feedback on Duralast parts?  I'd rather replace 
with Bosch OEM parts right now, but I am short on cash so I need 
something to get me by.
Thanks in advance,
Vincent
