[Spridgets] Still no workie...

[Edward Perez]

Hey, Kent.. appreciate the offer.  I have a 1275 in the car.  I would settle for a points distributor also.  I just want to see the behavior of this problem change.

 I have a couple of questions...

1. does the Lucas electronic distributor REQUIRE the external amplifier on the 1275?  The car never had one before and it was running at one point (although  it was on 2.5 cylinders)
2. does anyone in the Seattle/Everett area have a spare distributor I could borrow to troubleshoot this?

 
Hi Ed,
 
Do you have a 1500 or a 1275 in your car? The electronic dizzy wasn't used on the 1275 engines (from the factory). If you have a 1500 I have a couple of spare dizzies but am not in your area... You are welcome to borrow one for the cost of shipping. I don't have any info on them as they both came with parts cars that I had at one time. If one were to solve your problem, it could be had cheap.
