Disty...again!

I've had a replacement distributor sitting in my apt for several months, was always too cold or too busy to replace it, finally got around to it today.  The old one would act up on longer journeys, and one bolt was stripped from the cap...so new (reman) disty, cap and rotor were installed earlier.

After driving around I feel the car is much smoother, power-wise.  I know there must have been power loss from the cap not being completely connected, and the fact that the disty was on its way out.

I made sure, for the first time, that the disty was lined up according to the old one, since Bahr had timed the ignition when Macy went in for emissions.  I'm hoping they timed it correctly and didn't leave it advanced at all.  I've never done timing myself so I really don't want to mess with it.

Soon it's going to be getting warm out again, which means I'm actually going to be able to get work done on the car, instead of procrastinating about it.  Thankfully, most the parts that need to be replaced are under warrentee.

On another note...I'm an avid cyclist, and as such am looking for a new jersey...preferably from a team.  I can find those no problem, but finding a womens size is another story.  Thought of the day...a womens professional cycling team sponsored by Mazda.  Now that would be nice.
