Didn't you just put a parts store dist in it ?Yeah. It didn't do the trick. And I know it's good, I pulled it out of my car. The only thing I haven't tried yet, I think, is the stator in the distributor. It's either that, or a broken wire in the harness, or a bad connection somewhere.
The last vehicle I had kick my butt so bad was an 86 ranger. I traded that sucker in on a silverado.
Edit: i found an old thread last night where people who had symptoms I'm having had a bad stator in their distributor.. So, that's next.

I have a good TFI module too if you wanna try that
How is it that you know how fast a spotted ape runs?Well, I don't want to speak too soon, but the car is running. I rebuilt the distributor today, checked tdc, checked timing again, and nothing. That rotten so and so would not start. I did piddle with the timing more, and found something very interesting. When revving the engine, instead of timing advance, it was actually retarding. It took me a few minutes to recognize what was happening, and I thought, what the??!! That mark is going the wrong way!!!!
So.. Off to the google machine where i found this:

There was a wire going into the tfi for whatever reason, was energized when it wasn't supposed to be. How this happened out of the blue, i have no clue. I pulled the pin out and taped it up, fired up and ran like a spotted ape.
Stupid car. Lol.

I've never even seen a spotted ape.
I think it's supposed to be a raped ape? A striped assed ape?
Did you ever find a remedy to the problem? I've just read this whole thread, and wanted to say nice job, and a sincere thanks for sharing yours and your sons journey. Really enjoyed the paint parts, looks fantastic. I'm on the fence now with whether I should try to paint my son's 92 SSP or have a real painter do it.

Wait.....I thought those looked just like yours (here's your opportunity to pic whore)?They look to me like chrome bullitts. I've got the 2010 GT style. Close, but not exact.
