Default wow what a Summer

Guys,
Car gave me fits all Summer, started in Pigeon Forge at the Grand Spring Rod Run. Had aan intake gasket leaking changed that, helped a little but still not quite right at idle. To make a long very, long story short, my bronze distr. gear was worn to a razor edge. Called the engine builder, he said most guys who run a mechanical roller on the street change the gear once a month. So I put in a Comp Cams composite gear. Cost over a hundred dollars but suppose to fix the problem. Never thought a dist. gear would cause this kind of trouble. Also twisted the splines on driver's side axle. I was running a racheting locker in the rear end, it kept unlocking all the time when not under a load then when you got back into the throttle it would snap and pop. I put in a posi unit end much better, corners a ton better don't quite understand why but it does.
