Hello

I have the following problem with my 1988 1.0 Nova

It started up nice this morning, but after I drove about 1 mile the car suddenly stopped. I couldnt start it again. The starter motor is running well, gas in the tank and there is power on the battery.
A mechanic told me the problem was the platins in the distributor (I think it's called that - but I mean the one that sends out the spark to the spudplugs).
I have tried to change the platins with a brand new one. But still I cant start my car. Is there anyone that knows the exact setting for new a new platin??

I'll appreciate any answers :-)

what are u talking about, spudplugs lol platins, these are not in any cars engine...
the distributor has points, maybe he meant that, also dizzy cap and rotor arm... get some1 with nohow to look at it...
