Seems that it's cheaper to buy Plug'nPlay engine management and go distributorless ignition
Also as a bonus, get more power and better fuel mileage.

Got a link to that Plug'nPlay distributorless ?

"cheaper"
The belts around $10 and the pins around $1 .

I think he's referring to the engine rebuild cost when the belt breaks and the engine grenades.

Raceboy

Exactly.

Indycam

To keep the belt from breaking ,
replace it for $11 ,
or spend big bucks on a "Plug'nPlay distributorless" ?

I'll spend the $11 .

Raceboy

It's your choice but engine management gives both more power and better fuel mileage also on otherwise bone stock engine.

"Big bucks" as you refer is around 2000usd total including tuning.

I spoke with an ex-porsche dealer and mentioned this to him. He recalls a whole slew of warranties because of this issue, but none after the cooler/breather hose being installed. As you point out- he may not have stuck around long enough to hear the end of the story.
