Well I drove the car out tonight and noticed it felt REALLY down on power..even for 5psi...
Any how I instantly noticed that the car felt weird and it was obviously a timing thing...exh popping, and the car was running extremely hot...like 200-210 cruising, and with the A/C on the highway 220...I was like OMG A/C off!!!
Anyways I popped the hood and heard a loud ass BUZZ BUZZ every couple seconds....I was like WTF. Then I noticed it was coming from the distributor...whoa...I put my hand on it and could feel the BUZZ BUZZ (pretty loud to) through my hand!
I pulled the cap off and everything looked ok. My distrib has had about a 1/2 x 1/2 piece missing outta the housing (cap goes over it) for awhile...prob should replace...but this is weird....any ideas?
I'm thinking I ****ed the timing up or something since I can't read the balancer anymore from the good ole Fla rust (although I did mark it with #1 TDC...and timed it off that)
But running so hot....weird
Low on power...weird
Buzz Buzz....weird.

Well what'da think
It's to late to mess with it tonight, so I'll sleep on it...lol

well after flying in a freakin jet anything is gonna be low on power. before you said your distributor got eaten up i was gonna say your a/c probalby just needed to be recharged or something but ionno, it's probably timing if your distributor got f-ed up like that
 
had the A/C done today lol
I pulled the distrib and everything looks fine...but I had to turn the mofo counter clock wide alot to get it out...tabd were hitting intake...so it was way off I think

yeah i when i had my car dynoed it had the stock dist cap and rotor on and the gragh was jumping all over the place up top, so when i blew a head gasket i put the msd dist. in and it helped alot up top i would like to dyno again just to see how much ?hope that fixes your car .
