can you tell me about the clogged fuel distributor?

The symptom was that the car wouldn't start, and when you removed the plugs you found that the injectors were squirting all the time; and when you cracked the fuel line at the fuel distributor output, it was getting fuel all the time.

I am sure you've seen how, if gas is left to evaporate in a carburetor when it has been sitting for a long time, it leaves behind a really cruddy residue. I assume the same kind of thing was in my old fuel distributor. I bought a rebuilt one on an exchange basis. Probably the hardest part of replacing it was setting up the initial fuel mixture on the new fuel distributor.
