I'm installing some replacement trigger points in my dizzy shortly. I read somewhere to use a small amount of lube on the cam lobes where they contact the trigger points before reassembly. Can anyone tell me specifically what brand or type of lube to use that I might be able to get at my local FLAPS?
Thanks |

I'm sure there are other lubricants that would work fine, but you did ask for specifics...and the Bosch grease is specifically what is called for.

I'm presuming to stay in place and not sling all around the distributor. |

[/quote] I hate to admit being an old timer...but we remember that a tube of grease was always included in the box when buying points. It was a plastic capsule about half the size of a Tylenol capsule. The English manuals will say add a little petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to the cam follower. The last set of points I bought came from NAPA and the capsule of grease was included. A nice surprise. I used a dab and put the capsule in my tool box. I have used it once since then. If you have a tube of Bosch grease in your tool box you will definately be known as hard core! And you will never run out! All your friends will ask to borrow some. |
