Hey guys...I have good reason to believe that my distributor bushings are severely worn. I'm chunking out caps/rotors in less than 10k miles and have intermittent bad misses. I'm to the point when something goes wrong on my truck, I upgrade it. I would like to do this with the ignition.
To get it straight: 1988 RC 318, TBI, dual pickup distributor.
What can I do to upgrade this system? A guy at work recommended going to a vacuum advance dist ($36 vs $125 for electronic, but need to buy an Orange box and a bronze drive gear, $25 and $60 respectively). How would this affect the engine computer?
What would my other options be? I've heard of swapping to HEI ignition, but what would be the ups/downs of that?
