Default Wierd engine problem.....FIXED!!!

Huge thanks to all on the forum that responded with the great advice to my engine problem last week. I had the 89 that would have an intermitten misfire that I couldn't figure out. The general consensus was either spark module or worn distibutor shaft. I purchase a new GM distibutor, and it runs like a charm!! Comparing the two, I could see some slop in the upper shaft bearing and also some wear on the shaft. It's hard to tell without a comparison. I drove around for a bout two hours last night after getting it done and it's the first time in about a year with out a problem. I couldn't be happier as I love this car!! Thanks alot guys for helping out.....you were great!!

There is nothing better then working on your car and actually fixing the problem. Good job.
