If ignition parts have never been done I feel as though your indy is kinda wasting your $$..it's time to freshen those up. Plugs are worn by about 15-20K, cap and rotor is spent by 50-60K @ best!

The fuel distributor isn't timed?? I'm kinda ignorant about how it works so sorry if that's a dumb question.

I asked my indy who has a real good business servicing german cars about putting on new electrical stuff.. He said it wouldn't hurt but it won't fix the problem. He said they tested the electrical stuff exhaustively and have determined that there is low fuel pressure on the #8 cylinder. they switched the #8 injector to another cylinder just to check but the #8 cylinder continued to miss and was low on fuel pressure.

i didn't ask him to switch the fuel distributor lines yet. kinda wanted to ask about the timing issue first.
