ok guys so heres the deal, ive had this car for about 2 years now and i know it inside and out it ran great when i got it for about a year and a half. i took it to tennessee and after that it just werent runnin so strong but i dont think the drive there had anything to do with it. it all started when sometimes it just wouldnt start, just crank. i got nothing till about 3 tries then she would run like a deere. one of my buddies told me to change the module in the distributor cap.then it ran ok for a while. then the tach started to just bounce around and it would cut off on me at random but start right back up most of the times if not a couple tries. fuel is fine. its proly the timing bc when i got back from TN i had to change the water pump shortly after and i think i put the BELT back on like on tooth off which is more than the distributor can fix i was told and smart thing to do would be do it all over again but i dont want to go through all that again and niether would you if you had this car its not bad but damn i miss it! and about the swaps ill get back to ya.but thanks!
