Okay, I took my distributor cap off and checked the air gap on the reluctor. (This is an electronic ignition off of a 1982 A15). The reluctor should be somewhat centered at all 4 points on
it....it wasn't. The gap is supposed to be .012"-.020", one gap was way too big, and the opposite side was way too small. So I tried to adjust it, and didn't get much luck. I pulled it off
all the way and found that the magnet on it was cracked, and saw that one of those little ball bearings was floating around inside the distributor. I took the distributor out and apart, and
the advance springs/weights were so sticky I could hardly even move them. So could all of these things been the reason my car would misfire at about 5500 rpm???
I basically replaced/checked everything else I could think of. New wires, alternator, fuel filter, plugs, intake gaskets, timing, idle/mixture, cap, rotor, everything I could think of to
fix the problem hasn't fixed it.
So now I need a new distributor, how would a Mallory Dual Point distributor do versus an electronic/magnetic pickup one???
