I bought one of those Pro Comp HEI distributors on Ebay for my Windsor and have had really good luck with it ever since I put it on over three years ago. However, just recently the ignition has started to mysteriously stall intermittently while running down the road, and then fix itself after a second or two. It's been happening more and more frequetly lately. Ive heard that HEI isn't the greatest for high RPM's, but this has been at all speeds usually starting around 30 mph. At first it only did it when the engine was warm, so I tested both the ignition module and the coil and they both checked good. However, Isince I heard that these parts might start to faulter when they get hot, I replaced them anyway. No difference. It still does the same thing. As a matter of fact, the truck doesn't even need to be all that warm anymore when it starts acting up. I've already checked for loose wires and everything looks good and tight. I don't know if it helps, but another reason I believe it to be the ignition is that when ever the "stall" lasts for more than a second, I can start to smell the faint aroma of raw gas like when the engine is flooded. I figure that to be raw gas pushed out tailpipes becasue it didn't get ignited in the cylinders. Any ideas welcome.
