Need to replace the fuel distributor on my '81 SC. They are quite pricey. Any suggestions on the best place to find a mix of quality and price? Hope to limp it through a day at Sebring tomorrow, then I've got to bite the bullet and replace it...Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards, Doug

On three different occasions the car began "stuttering" at low rpm's--low power up to about 3500 RPM's then the power kicked in. Turns out it was only running on 5 cylinders because the fuel injector was not providing adequate fuel to the number 2 cylinder. Cleaned all of the injectors, but the number 2 cylinder began misfiring again-- when we cleaned the injector it was again not spraying adequate fuel to the cylinder. After cleaning the injector and the fuel distributor, I just hope I can get one more day out of it! BTW, over $1,200 new!
Over $500 rebuilt...Thanks for the tip, I'll try them when I get back from Sebring.

Sheesh, if forced to buy that new I think I would part out the whole CIS system and put in some pretty PMO's!

Thanks, Guys! I made a grand total of 4 laps in my first session before the car began to run on 5 cylinders--I came in and parked it for the rest of the day...
