Thanks for the RA discount code

Specifically, thanks 66 Olznut for the discount code, saved me $15 on a $180 order for a new distributor, plugs, wires, and of course the mounting gasket.


What I got is

Cardone Select distributor 841895 (Should be good enough, bit cheaper than the summit house brand I was gonna get)

NKG Iridium spark plugs 7401

Standard Motor Products 8.5mm "BlueStreak" plug wires 10002

And a fel-pro distributor mounting gasket.

Oh and probably the fifth Rock Auto magnet to go on my mini-fridge


Thanks again guys, stuff like the discount code really helps, some weeks I barely eat just so I can put money in my car or truck, I guess if that doesn't make you a car person, I don't know what does. Or maybe I'm just insane and put too much stake in these old iron horses.

All that's left for my car is $400 worth of steering and suspension components, Tie rods, center link, idler arm, springs, shocks (Ruined the Monroe SensaTrac shocks on the right with bad springs), and uh, I'm probably forgetting something. Might swap the single 2 1/4" glasspack for a dual outlet 2 1/4" Flowmaster super 44, and tires (Mastercraft Avenger GT's, I mean come on, what's cooler than having Avenger in large white letters on your tires?). Truck still needs exhaust, and a carburetor. Plus I'll be getting that '72 Delta 88 this spring, so, my fridge is likely going to be covered in rock auto magnets come this time next year.

Olds uses an O-ring to seal the distributor, not a flat gasket. Maybe your model distributor differs.

Chevy motor, as I've said, car came that way from the factory. It's an odd one, no options 'cept a Chevy 350 with a 4bbl (VIN L), and air con. They swapped the original chevy 350 at 88,xxx in 1993 miles with a GM Goodwrench crate 350, brand new engine at only 88k miles. Who knows what they did to the original?
