That is a first for me. Glad it didn't tear anything else up.
If you feel the distributor is trashed this might be a good time to go with the holley stuff and let your EFI control it. Less moving parts
I am giving that some thought, but its a lot less spark than the 7AL I have if I go with their box and Distributor. And then I can't change back to carburated.....Just debating this myself
