So, I ve been helping my brother work out some issues with his 1969 cougar xr7 convertable, 390ci. Keeps going through napa distributors. It's an electrical problem that fails in the distributor. Whatever happens, seems to create weak spark in my opinion or distributor is not sending the coil a good signal. I have no clue if this car would have had a points ignition in 1969, but it has a regular type distributor with cap and rotor since he has owned it. I don't know if I keep getting junk distributors or if I have incorrect parts surrounding that are ruining the distributor. Not an expert on these things but I definitely know how to play with them. Distributors are just hard to diagnose, pretty much eliminate everything else as a problem then throw one in, lol.
