When ur dist. is gonan go ur gonna hear some popping and sqealing sounds from ur dist. area. Also ur car gonna run like ****.

When that happens, DO NOT DRIVE it or else u gonna seize it eventually and u gonna do more internal damage.

Yep, also you will "wash out" the cylinder walls of oil, causing major piston/ring wear! woohoo, distributors are not cheap!
