Re: Quick distributor question...

Update: I went over the grounds in the truck this weekend. Cleaned up the hot stud on the firewall too (that black plastic junction block with 2 studs) and changed the ignition switch on the column.

Figured the switch might've had something to do with it. The starter solenoid has been clicking when trying to start the truck for a number of years now and the radio will cut out at random on rare occasions. Turns out the starter problem still persists with the new ignition switch. Radio not sure yet...

Replaced the starter too about a month ago with a brand new one, clicking problem was still there (will crank/start 1-3 tries in, sometimes without issue, sometimes with).

Anyways, figured the switch might have something to do with power/ground to the ignition system.

Have a new complete distributor and ignition coil on the way this week...
