Ummm not going to fix your problem

What problem do you think the distributor is going to fix that your new cap and rotor didn't?

There are 3 problems associated with the distributor that I highly doubt a new one will fix. The most prominent one is the pickup inside which can be replaced without buying the whole distributor. But if that were your problem, you'd get a code for it. So unless you're not telling us something, I doubt any of that is your problem.

If your still having this issue after more than 3 months and a new cap and rotor, I suggest you go back to basics and start with a proper compression check and possibly a leak down test. Notice "proper" is bold. There is a reason.

I currently have a mis fire of sorts (you can feel it) but it never sets a "300" code. It will very occasionally set a rich bank code. But I have replaced the injectors a few times and I'm not doing it again. The engine is coming out and a 383 with a RamJet will go back in. I been waiting to do it and now it's over due.

Good luck to you.
