I did a seach and found nothing.
Has anyone here had to change the distributor? My car needs a distributor, and the dealer wants 800 parts and labour, so I really don't want to go that route. Is this something that can easily be done on my own, with no special tools? Is it possible to really mess up the timing from replacing the distributor? or is it something really simple to do? Any help you guys can offer would be great. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
