Okay, okay, I'll stop whining here and shell out a few bucks for a decent ignition! I'm confused why MSD doesn't carry a matching rotor with the kit- I've been using Honda stock so I guess that's okay. Now about wires- MSD is the best, right? Do NGK's wires compare or should I stop wasting time?

At $15 a pop, that doesn't hurt to replace too often. I can feel your pain with the $40, but guess the ol' saying holds true. "You gotta pay to play." I tried to clean up my setup, and it held for a couple of days, and then started acting up again. You just have to replace it. No if ands or buts about it. Devil's advocate, Willy PS...got any pics of your car? Would like to see your setup. --- George Freeman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just got done putting in the replacement o-ring on the distributor > and found the rotor pitted and the distributor cap terminals encrusted > with > corrosion.
