distributer January 20, 2006, 12:23:34 AM i took my car up to the previous owners house to show him that i have it running and asked him what exacly it was that was wrong with it when he parked it. he told me that it had something to do with an electrical problem in the distributor that had been a problem on alot of them. so my question is... what distributer pproblems were there on the 84 thunderbirds with the 302 and cfi? and what are the fixes for said problems?
