The problem around here is ignitors. People steal them from the scrap yard, so if you grab an 82-85 distributor and front cover, make sure that the ignitors are on there too - easy to miss.

but sir, no one pays attention to 1st gen parts here in Socal except me so I take the igniters along with trigger wires. In addition, its not stealing since I paid my entrance fee. I call it "free pocket items."
