distributor diagnosis

["Douglas Kunzman" <doug.kunzman@domain.elided>]

Hi,

I just got one of my alfa's back from the shop were they diagnosed the
distributor being
broken and worn out on one of my Alfa Spiders (1984 with 150,000 miles).  I
was pretty sure
that it was a ignition problem and had replaced the plugs, wires, cap and
rotor to no avail.
Is there anyway for an amateur to diagnose that the distributor is bad
without very specialized
tools ?
