  • Distributor problems ???

    Just bought a 1990 Festl L Plus.213k on speedo.No rust,auto,a/c,starts and runs.It is at a mechanics shop and he said it needs a distributor.It works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't,but,that is all that seems to be wrong with it.It is 4 hrs away and I am going with someone to pick it up.My question is , should I go get a used distributor and take it with me just in case or ?? It does have a lot of miles on it,but,for the most part it looks decent.Anything can go wrong,but,just need info on what I hould do about the distributor .Thanks.

    Never hurts to have a backup!
    I'd bring the extra distributor, but how sure are you that it is the problem?

    humm, 4 hours away from Warren, OH might be nearer me!

    Anyway best thing you could do you have already done, let the board know your trying to get a Festiva back home.
    With more detail you might have a few people along your return path that could be around to help.
    Would be much better if you could tow this one back with you, but that isn't always an option!

        I'm familiar with that area, I drive that route every few weeks!
        There's a red one at a garage I pass in Berkeley Springs WV, been meaning to check on it!

            Well, that sucks for me!:p
            Been eyeing that or the last month or so!
            Also stayed at that Best Western, sometime ago!

            Congrats!
            It looked good on my way past it!

            Good luck with getting it home!
            I'll probably be by there the first week of September!
