This is certainly not what I expected down here.  Group: Members Posts: 849 Joined: 21-May 09 From: Bodymore Murderland Member No.: 10,389 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region  |
So I pulled apart my distributor and it was definitely sticking. You could turn it back a few degrees and the grease was dried up and sticky.
When I got it down to the centrifugal weights and springs at the base, one of the plastic spring mounts broke. I am thinking a dab of jb weld over the end to keep the spring from leaving and flying up over it? On the plus side it does not seem to stick at all anymore and goes right back to stop once you twist it. I guess this is why everyone complains about these? What a pain. At least nothing else broke. I doubt the little plastic spring seats are available. Hopefully it will run close to right the spring had to be clamped a little bit to keep it on the shaft.... |

So like VW's Porsche/Bosch is different with the same part #
My bearing retainer rests against the bottom of the fixed plate that the vacuum advance plate moves against. It goes underneath and it will not bend back to compress unless you have something to hold the bottom on...... Since there is no screw just a hole and a little dimple that sticks out, can you guess what I did? Yeah I fucking JB welded it after cleaning it to the bottom of hte fixed plate. It may only last 1 or 2 more cleanings, but the distributor you sent I can do proper and it does not have this shitty ball retainer setup. Talk about weird, exact same part # and two different distributors! What year is that one from Slits? The bottom of my retainer looks almost like a spad connector. |
