My 95 GT (a classic car that I do not drive regularly) intermittently stalls out when hot and when it cools down it starts back up. I have read that this is a somewhat common problem and can be traced to a failing pip (ignition pickup) in the distributor and that it is easier to replace the distributor rather than to rebuild the old one. The distributor/pip is the originally one and is 25 years old. Does anyone have any recommendations on a replacement distributor of reasonable cost that I can swap out with the old one?

I installed this one in my project car 2 weeks ago. The general feedback on remanufactured ones is that they are not the best option but, for the price, I had to give it a shot. So far so good.

O’Reilly Autoparts has the most reliable replacement. Be careful getting parts off of Amazon.

stay away from the high powered msd billet stuff it isn't any better. I had to swap mine because of the holley hp and I think I still have the stock one if I dig around and your interested.
Many thanks to all for all your replies. EVILCW311: I don't have an O'reilly autoparts where I live but I looked on line to see what they carry and may go from there. I did check Rockauto and they have similar brands as O'reilly. I have ordered from Rockauto before and find that they are a decent place to order from and their prices are pretty good. I am looking at the Spectra Premium FD22 sold by O'Reilly and by Rockauto and think I may go that route. I have had Spectra radiators for 2 of my vehicles and they have been good. I will stay away from the msd billet as ttocs recommends. ttocs: if the FD22 does not work out I most likely will be in touch to see about your stock one you might still have.
