started to put an alpine deck in today, been without any noise other than the engine (no that thats a bad thing) for 2 weeks, figured it was about time for some tunes. the wiring harness thing in that area is all cut, connected and short as hell, and there are no speakers. so now i have to go spend more money.... speakers, install, etc.
and doing the tune up at the same time, we discoverd that the rotor had been slightly misaligned, and that, coupled with the fact the cap only had one screw in it, made a but of a mess, and was probably screwing with my fuel milage, performance, and such.
:mad: off to spend some more money which im almost out of.

now also discovered that the distributor is prob screwed. that would be why it ate a rotor today. now hopefully i can get this other one from this guy and fix it that way, otherwise its 5 days, and money im almost out of.

no, stock distributor, i wasnt sure how to describe it, so i just called it misaligned. im guessing the play in the shaft allowed it to vibrate at higher speeds (aka over 4k rpm) thereby hitting the leads in the cap, gouging them, and destroying the rotor. for some reason, the car doesnt run very well in said condition.
so now while waiting for a distributor, i have to keep the engine below 4k, its really hard. so many trying to race me. oh well, most of them still lose.
im getting a+b sound to do all my wiring, 3 hourts and $120, i think its worth it, especially since im at work at the time anyway.
