Rain = no start ETC
Thanks for the input, Im putting a whole new distributor in.
Figure it's already 15 yrs old, so why not.
Im going to replace the fuel filter too, as I dont know when it was
replaced.
Is the stock one the best one to use ?
Also have to replce the "Y" tubing that runs in front of the engine block.
I think it recirculates exhaust back into the engine to re-burn it?
Anybody know the part number off hand? Mine is ripped apart.
Is this something that can be deleted, or do I need to replace it?
Thanks,
Ed
