No sir. Brand new cap, rotor. (2 months old.) Mike & Paul looked over my
shoulder and even played with the little pencil lead button a while.

Euro distributor is 6 months old. +/- a week.

been gone through several times. If there is a vacuum leak, its a dang
good one!

Si. Hence the new cap & Rotor. (Nology eats em up, yum! <ding-ding>)

Actually, the car ran normally for about 5 minutes until it warmed up.
Now, whether it ran crappy again because it was now warm or because the
charge to the battery was gone, I dunno. Id have to say it was due to the
car warming up. 
I could change the battery but since the exhaust system is out of the
car, i'll have to wait til I get it fixed or whoever is selling that
header steps foreward so I can get it back on the road sooner and fix
this pig! (or is it "Kick this pig". Does'nt matter.) 

Thanks Benton!!
