    Pat-
    I have not tried another distributor yet. I dont have one to try at the moment. I'll see if I can get my hands on one. I want to be sure that the mag is the issue before I buy a new distributor or choose to have the mag repaired. What would you recommend for a replacement distributor?

    As far as the gas goes, I filled up with a fresh tank of gas and still have the issue. The power valve could be shot at this point but these symptoms seem to be pointing towards someting else.

    Southerner-
    My kill switch is the only thing connected to grounding post on the mag.

    If it's an older DP and the engine has backfired you can almost be sure that the power vavle is blown. www.summit.com sells an inexpensive kit to solve that problem.
