Hello Jonathan,

The fuel distributor did the trick. Also had to install new fuel pump as =
well. As for as the H & R springs, the car handles great but inside edge =
rear tire wear is unacceptable. I called Bergwerks and spoke with someone=
 (don't remember name) who said they don't carry any rear camber adjustme=
nt kit for 126 chassis. I did find K-mac website - they do carry a kit bu=
t its kind of expensive at $320.00 plus shipping from Australia.
