Your experience is what I have told people for years about fuel distributors and WUR. If you do take them apart and was fortunate to put it back together and it didn't leak, then you would still have problems if you don't put all the parts in the same holes they came out of. Pressure test and flow are crucial in a proper operating distributor. We have rebuilt in stock.
