Oh you have the 243. I have a 241. The 241 is a better case but you have to do a lot of modifications to electrical to make it work if you have a 243

Yea I have the floor shift. But I was told if the drive shaft doesn't get lubricated the drive shaft will seize. That's not good when going fast

Any ideas what's going on? Have you done a tune-up recently?

I had that problem one time and it was a something as simple as pulling the cap and taking some rtv around it. Has it been wet/lot of moisture. i know it sounds crazy but you wouldn't beleive it and the cap and rotor on mine when i had that problme. I made a big mistake and collapsed a lifter rebuilt whole top end replaced everythng and it happened. It is amazing what you can learn from an ol timer.

Vortecs seem to be hard on distributor caps for some reason. Dunno why.
