Rev limit/wont start

[Teggyb18a]

So it all started when my car would rev out at 3500 rpm's even if pedal was in all the way. I checked plugs, had oil in them. I changed plugs cleaned all oil out put new plug/valve cover gasket on.. Still had same problem.. I started lookin at my dizzy, im gettin all spark out of my wire's and everything to me it seems to be working fine ( im not 100% car smart ) I also do have msd on my car.. I pulled that plug off my dizzy and it was cacked with white shit. Looks almost like batter acid would. Now my car wont even start, sounds like it wants to, seems like its gonna but just wont. help please?? =(

1st off when you were revving the car were you driving it or was it in park? Most vehicles have a rev limiter which will cut out between 3500 and 4000 rpm so you don't destroy the engine.
2nd what in the world is a "dizzy" and what is a plug/valve cover gasket.
Regardless is the problem that the engine won't rev in Park or Nuetral above 3500rpm? If so it won't due to the rev limiter.

so best bet buy new distibutor?

could also be your coil ( both in the distributor ) a new distributor exceeds the cost of a new coil and igniter, (which can be replaced seperately) but easier to swap out.. probably the igniter tho.
