What exactly is messing up in the distributors? If you don't know, then could the problem lie elsewhere, contradicting your assumption?

Electrical issues are not something that can easily be identified by googling the web, or posting in a forum, diagnose needs to be done and some visuals as well. Wires could be melting and crossing each other, we don't know. So unless you post up details of what you have done to your car, in the past or in the last couple days before this started, all we can do is say what you just said.

You need to consider that the underlying problem may not be the distributor.

Are the plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor new?

Are you installing new or used distributors?

The more detailed information you provide, the more help you'll get.

... And yet, you drug up a four year old thread to basically bash someone just like you claim was done to another poster... on your VERY FIRST POST. I fail to see how you are being a helpful, productive member of this forum.
