engine quit when i tried to restart it the first time i could not hear the relay, replaced the main fuel relay and now i am told the distributor needs to be replaced are there any after market distributors that by-pass the ignitor. Distributor prices are crazy through the roof 100.00 to 600.00 what do you suggest.
thank you Nick

Hi Nick Pavlovich, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

What you need to do is to establish what's causing it -whether its fuel or spark problem -Do below

Find out which system is failing by checking for spark and then for fuel pressure at the fuel rail
