The reason I ask is because I have a DK distributor and I seen this in a search thread trying to find out if anyone is having any issues with there DK dist.
i purchased a 99-00 b16 dizzy from them a year ago. it sat for 8 months and it was dead upon install on the swap. called them up and i received a new one 3wks later.
then after 2 months on the car the tach started jumping around. called and emailed & recieved no answer. i opened it up, installed my old [130k] D16 igniter and it works like a charm.
it seems to be a hit or miss with them
Now I'm running boost of about 15lbs. and in high rpms it sometime starts to break up and sputter. My tach has also started jumping around at about 3500-4000 rpms. The car was tuned on chrome and was fine on the dyno. a couple months later I have this problem. I also don't drive the car much, maybe once or twice a week at the most. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
