I took a video of the distributor spark on my van. I'm hoping you could tell if its a bad distributor by the video? I was trying to compare it to the video you sent but I'm not sure what to look for. My video also goes on to show the condition of the cap and the distributor itself after the spark test.

I don't know the actual mileage for the current plugs and wires but its been more than 5 years so I'm sure its time for replacement regardless of the distributor.
Thanks for taking the time to help. |
I looked at your video and I believe you have a bad distibutor. There should not be any spark jumping where the coil lead goes to the rotor thru the cap. It is hard to tell but it looks like there is a crack or chip at the top of coil lead and the spark is jumping to ground which would be the body of distributor. Look at the video I posted, where after installation of new distributor and the engine is being cranked you will not see any spark jumping, the way it should be. If you can have someone crank the engine will you watch at engine and you will see what I mean.
The links I posted last time are from another forum.
I recommend getting the distributor I posted from ebay as they have a lifetime warranty and new not remanufactored distributors.
