Seriously? Now what's wrong... when we went Autocrossing, do you remember how the GTO was misfiring? It's time to test, diagnose, and discuss the symptoms of my HEI distributor. HEI stand for High Energy Ignition, which basically increases fuel burn, by pumping over 50,000 volts to each spark plug. BUT, these things do fail, so we'll test the Primary Coil, the Secondary Coil, the Magnetic Pick Up coil, and our wiring. Lastly, we get to do a test drive, because we still have to test our chassis mods.
