Distributor problems PLEASE HELP!!!

289 · 08-12-2005, 02:22 PM

I am having trouble with my Stock Distributor on my 89 mass air 5.0. The ignition would turn off during hig revs in 3rd and4th gear, basicaly a blip. Well it bliped once and never came back. I tried changein the ignition module but nothing I can tell there is no signal cause the tach doesn't move when cranking. Is there something inside the distributor that might have gone out that I can replace. Also is it possible to use a MSD mechanical advance distributor on a mass air 5.0, while using the mass air system???
