    Make sure the weights in the distributer are not stuck in the advanced position.

    only thing that will snap a front housing is bad timing or cross-fire.check your plug wires for not touching each other,cap for tracking and as said above,advance stuck.

Ive also been killing alternators, and regulatrs im on my 2nd alt in past 6 months and 2nd regulator also. its just starting to get rediculous. Could it be the remanufactured parts ive been using???
