Got the Crate up to 75 on the highway today, I don't think its been to 75
since. ever!  Afterall, it's the Eggcrate, not the Scrambled Eggcrate.
Anywho after a couple minutes I got off and shut it down to grab my wings,
when I came out it cranked VERY slowly and didn't want to start.  I finally
got it lit and it drove home fine.  It IS charging, and when I tried to
start it hot again at home it would detonate during the cranking, tried
kicking back, and we very reluctant to start.  The detonation was what
really bothered me.  Later after cooling down, it started fine.

This is a bone stock 1500S domed piston engine with 93 octane in it.

However, the distributor is a vacuum only unit,  0 231 147 006 or 311 905
205D
I don't think that's the right distributor is it?

I sure don't want the wrong distributor on a domed piston engine!  What do I
need for this?
