straight water with no antifreeze or corrosion inhibitor?  This is a southern car, right?

ok, new problems, I got it running and of course it needs a tune from all the changes, but, im driving it about a week-week and a half.....it does the pop back in the intake and cuts off, still coasting and the tack is on 0. that had me puzzled to begin with. took the dizzy out and the teeth were chewed off....never messed with the aux shaft or dizzy while it was down other than the timing belt.

now I replaced the OEM dizzy with another OEM dizzy from a mustang and it ran fine now for another 2 weeks. looked at the aux shaft while it was out and the gear look fine. well, the same thing happened this morning so now.........im getting another OEM aux shaft next week and then investigating the whole situation.......

anyone ever have this problem before? any tips you can throw my way on this issue? anything at all!!!!!

thanks guys...
