HAHA..Im not THAT bad...hehehe.  This is my first real time venturing into the 
beast.  As it turns out (recall past posts), the distro cap actually had wear 
marks in the inside...as if something got in there and chewed it up.  The 
noise went away...Now the car just idles like its has a nice set of 276 cams, 
doesn't like to start, and doesn't have the power that it once had..so I am 
hoping that this will cure the issue.

thanks again.
