Replace distributor on old to quest 3.3 car starts fine then all of a sudden just shuts off

A friend told me he check the spark in the vehicle said the spark was yellowy and that'll five vehicles had distributor issues. vehicle was not turning on before now it's turning on but turns off after while running

Yep, have a BUNCH of problems with the distributors! .. However, along with the original equipment distributors, for the most part, the aftermarkets are just as bad if not worse! .. I have better luck with NAPA 'first line' auto parts... Leave Zone and Advance etc.. distributors at the stores .. Have had as many as 5 in a row that were junk!
