Well finally finished the engine work on my dad's Challenger, it held me back from working on my car for a while but I feel the results were well worth it. Anyhow, about 2 weeks ago the rear seal started leaking pretty badly and it was a good excuse for me to pull the engine and clean everything up. However, as the story goes....one thing led to another and my Dad decided that now would be a good time for a new cam, intake, headers, and electronic ignition. I had no objection because it was his money and I get to drive the car anyway

I've pulled the distributer 3 times and put in a new o-ring and seal, but nothing seems to work. I believe the base of the distributer was machined wrong and might buy a new one. If a new distributer is needed, does anyone have any feedback on the vacuum advance distributer that Mancini sells for 120 bucks? Anyhow, since
