You probably need to talk apart your distributor, clean the contacts carefully with 1000 grit sand paper, and put the distributor back together with a new seal or very carefully with silicone rtv. |

+1 for jwcorn01) Yes check for cracks on the distrib cap and check the inner wires for rust. Then protect them the best you can.
