Distributers keep dying..

By turbopseidon
- Wed Jul 23, 2014 2:12 am #347298 I have a 92 lx 4dr I have been working on, I put a new timing belt and water pump in and all was good started right up. I left it for the night and tried it again the next day and no start.. It had no spark..I had a Spair dizzy so I put it in. It started up. I've been running it up for the past 2 weeks with no problems ( not driving it, was on jack stands) today I put it on the ground and went to move it , it sputtered when I put it into gear then died right after. I checked spark and no spark again, tried the dizzy is my buddies car and it didn't start...bad dizzy again...is it coincidence that they keep dying or could it be something making it die? I am unsure as to what part has failed in both dizzys. Any ideas?

It was left out to the elements and almost looked rotten and very hard to solder to.
