Yeah, those pictures should be of help. Really detailed look at the wiring. All I'm wondering is, does getting a modified cap make the HEI mod easier and cleaner? I know where to get the HEI from looking on the forums, but even though the cap has been mentioned no one has said what part of the instr...

Thinking of doing the HEI

Alright, I did all the tests that I was suggested to do and have come to the conclusion that it is indeed my distributor that is shot. I've also waited and seen if anything else would be said on my thread and done some searching on here on my own and nothing really seems recent and the links I try f...

Alright, you guys were helpful when giving out tests that I should do... now I've done them, I just need to know what to do next. You guys sound like you really know what you are doing and I don't want to run the risk of really messing up my car.

Okay, I just checked for codes and nothing shows up... so it's just a faulty light that's coming on when my thermostat gets to where it should be. Without the paperclip in place, when I turn the key to the on position the light stays on (as does the seatbelt light, etc. as normal)... with it in the ...

Wow, thanks guys for your suggestions... by the time I got them it had gotten dark and I really wasn't able to go and do any of them. I'll be able to get to them later today though... I truly hope it isn't the distributor though, but I'd rather have it be that than something worse.

Thanks for the quick reply. As to the Distributor, there wasn't a way to get a remanufactured one (I think I can't remember the price correctly, someone told me it was nearer $350 a few minutes ago) and had to order one from Mazda brand new. I'll get to checking the codes soon, just was wondering if...

Yeah, I'd like to know this as well... I tend to have the problem that if I'm going slow but try to slow down when I'm in 1st or 2nd gear it jerks back and forth violently until I get back to the speed I was at when I started slowing down. I only usually have to do this when turning or getting behin...

I have searched this forum and could not find anything that would seem to help me with my problem but have noticed that you all seem to be a bunch of rather knowledgeable people and helpful at ...
