Thanks...sorry I made such a fuss. I didn't mean to, really. And I actually learned a new thing because I'd never heard of that problem before...so thank you.
Just a side note........ If that happens to anyone here who has a vehicle with one of those little carbon rods on top of the distributor rotor...... You can cut off an appropriately sized nail or screw or bolt to replace that rod, and it will work fine. I would replace it as soon as you can with the correct part, but it will even work for months that way.
