at least you know how to repair.. this is a good thing about olskool car owners.. did you check why your distributor burn? electronic distributor commonly fail because driver always leave the ignition ON without starting the engine to listen to radio while washing car for example. if the distributor state is ON position, it'll fry your IC.
