Thumbs up Aftermarket distributors

Longtime reader, firsttime poster

In the words of ezone... Aftermarket distributors are ****.

My 99 EX is back in business...I'm P0420 code throwing, but I could care less. The way that thing climbs in 2nd and 3rd gear?

Hell yeah.

ezone isn’t the only one who doesn’t like aftermarket distributors, and there is a reason for that. Because most of them suck.

No, but I've changed plenty of them for people, and the aftermarket ones often fail shortly after I install them, or they are dead right out of the box.
