[Healeys] distributor wear

[RAntal243 at aol.com]

Hi All,
     In the twenty five years that I've owned my BJ8,  I've driven 125k 
miles. The speedometer indicated 48k when I bought it in 1982.  I've never done 
anything with the distributor. Over the past few years i've  noticed a gradually 
worsening low speed miss which usually clears up when over  2000 rpm. 
Correcting this has defied all attempts. The distributor has an  electronic ignition 
(not Pertronix). Could the low speed miss be due to some  failiure of the 
distributor and should I have it rebuilt? It has at least 170k  miles on it now. 
Thanks for any assistance.
Rich Antal
