Big thanks to Bob D for loaning me his spare distributor. I was not able to locate a HEI or vacuum distributor out in the area I was stranded. Someone picked up Bob D's spare distributor and drove it 250 miles to meet me in a rental car. then back to my coach, installed the new one with a little more shim under it to allow better end play and drove it 450 miles home without incident. I will post a reply if I ever find out whats going on with this. I will also be installing a temperature sensor on distributor shaft that reads out on my IPAD display. I never want to be stranded out on I-90 again!!! EVER!
Bryce from California stopped in his coach while traveling by and helped me trouble shoot as well. Thanks to him as well!! So many great folks in this group!
On another side note, The reflective triangles to put up on the shoulder behind you are a must in my book. I broke down once before (distibutor issue) and didnt have them. I do now and it did give me a little piece of mind.
Please be safe out there and I hope none of you ever get stranded on I-90 between Chamberlain and Mitchell SD!!
