Dizzy Seals Question, Have a bit of an oil leak problem... Options

[tech_cruz787]

Hello All,

I apologize for not being as avid as a user as I had expected to be when I first got my 95 ST. Lack of money and being a pretty diligent college student my time for my Celi has been limited. On top of the major set back of the semester: getting my first three tickets ever, in one sitting, one stop sign away from my housing by an undercover DB total $342 (rant can be posted if you guys would like to hear about it...lol) =/ But I've been working really hard and have a little bit of money to take care of quick and easy issues and mods for now.

But on to my actual issue. I've been having a bit of an oil leak problem. Thankfully a have a master mechanic of a neighbor that helped me narrow it down to it being my distributor. He is so savvy that he told me to find a specific seal that I cannot quite find online. I'm pretty sure it is the "inner shaft seal" for the distributor that I've read a little about already. I will also be getting the standard O Ring for the distributor which should be easy to find, order, and replace from what I've read.

I would really appreciate any heads up on this inner seal matter and if anyone knows where I might be able to find it?

So the leaking was internal with my Dizzy. So I went ahead and bought and replaced it with a new one from E-Bay.

The Good News: > My Idle RPMs went down from always being at 1100RPM to around 800RPM.
> The Oil Leak, obviously ceased to be. =]

But on my way to school today it felt like I was only riding on 3 cylinders. Scary lose of power. So I get to my parking garage and play with the spark plug wires a little. Ran the car around a little again and the car seems to be responding better. But I still feel some sputtering going on. Gonna check the timing after school today. But could it be time for new spark plug wires after 170K?

My next sub-project I want to work on is really cleaning OR replacing my fuel injectors. I know this would help with my performance greatly.

I can't THANK this site and its users enough for all the great information! Thank you really. There is nothing more gratifying than being able to fix your own car and saving so much money.
