JH - thanks for the comments.

My only question is - if there is indeed a lack of spark at high temp - what would cause that? I agree that since this has been a big problem - it still could be. . . It was doing some flaky things before, like not firing on 2 cylinders when everything seemed to be fine. I replaced everything (dist,cap, rotor, coil, wires, plugs) and it still did the same thing. But, it just decided (after much fiddling) that it wanted to work again so all seemed well until now.

And if the bearings were bad - would the pressure change be temperature dependant?

I'll heat it up and test the spark. For such a simple ignition system this has been a pain. I recently changed out the distributor and replaced the electronic ignition with pertronix. When Pertronix comes out with their replacement distributor in 06 I think I'm going to jump on it. It's only going to be around 100 bucks (according to Delta). So it seems like the right way to go.
