Default I think there is something wrong with my distributor.

My car hasn't been running too good. Maybe this is why.. Pretty cool huh?

Totally FUBAR I would say. Are you running a high-pressure pump? Sometimes that can cause hate and discontent with the distributor ... TAZ

Its out of my 72 base 350 vette. Nothing about the motor looks hot rodded, basically all original car. So if I were to guess I would say it doesn't have a high volume pump. But who knows what the previous owner did.

What is the oil pressure at 2,000 rpm?

Once I get the distributor back in to shape I will check it.
