I'm not having any problems with the manifold, but I've heard the Edelbrock version for the TBI 4.3s is better.

I've been getting a code 43 and I did the flowchart testing from my shop manual for that code. I came to the conclusion that the rotating pole pieces and shaft assembly, essentially the entire distributor, needs replacing due to the rotating pole piece not staying magnetized. I check the resistance of the pick-up coil and found it to be in spec, which it should be since I replaced it just this last summer. I need to wires, cap, and a rotor also, so I figured I'd go for the whole ignition system (Dist, cap, rotor, wires, and possibly coil). Your thoughts?
