So the new distributor came from eBay today! The install went well....this one worked. The car pulls harder but.....I think the time needs adjusted. At 120 km some times it kind Boggs down? I fixed the temp sensor too found a frayed wire/ replaced the temp sensor. The needle 0's at a cold start. I am still waiting on the wheel bolts they got returned to sender but they fixed the mailing issue and having them resent. I am currently focused on getting the front recaros and other odds and ends like a door panel Still don't have all the parts to the 4 spoke steering wheel I got either. I got a quote for a full body restoration, doors fully disassembled painted inside and out, body kit, engine bay. I discovered that good body work is very very cheap in Spain so I may do it this winter. For the same work I'd pay 3 times as much in the states. However if the engine comes out I would need to do engine work/ clutch. Any thoughts on my plan for someone who's been down this path would be much appreciated!
