[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

Thank you Mike X2.

The one thing that always makes me wonder in circumstances like this is; ...is the original system truly under-performing? New correctly gapped spark plugs will tell a lot after a 5-mile drive. Rebuilding the distributor may not do a thing if the coil is weak or the polarity reversed. The same might be said if the timing is off, and/or if the carburetor is not performing correctly. If the camshaft is worn under specs, then naturally the entire engine will be down on power and again, switching to an aftermarket distributor will not do anything except make your wallet thinner IMHO.
