I edited your title to make it subject specific as "someone help!" isn't the best way to get distributor/ignition advice.

1. Unless your car is a crazy boosted set-up ditch the MSD. They are not necessary unless you're pusing enough boost to literally blow the spark out.

2. Instead of buying a junkyard distributor try finding a Distributor King/Richporter Technology brand new one so it doesn't cloud your diagnosis and repair.
