problemicio de jour!

or however you say it in french....
87 16v....
heres the deal, car starts, runs, drives then 3-5 min dies,
wont start, get out bang on the fuel-dist and starts back up for
10 seconds, repeat. just had the plate mechanism and piston
on dist cleaned off by a shop, but I fear either the distro
is bad or I have a clogged fuel filter. the filter only has
like 5,000 miles on it and i have a new gas tank and pump and the pressure was
verified before the distro. I will try a new
fuel filter first of course, but in the event I'm going to
need a new fuel dist (i want to sell the car so new parts only
so it doesnt break down on the next guy) wheres the best place
to get a new fuel dist, Potterman or Mark? That little fuel
dist is expensive eh?

possibility of vapor lock? how do i test that?

thanx
