(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) I posted earlier in the week about my 009 distributor woes. I took it apart and it was filled with crud. I did not completely break it down but I did clean it the best I could.I found that the weights were stuck and did not move freely.They still bind a little and I am not sure if that is acceptable. Also I see that there is only 1 spring inside. Is that the way it is supposed to be. What should I look for to make it work properly. I already know that these are not the best but if I can optimize it I will for now.

It has two springs. The other one attaches opposite of the one in the pic. Use Bosch dist. grease and put a couple drops of oil on the felt at the top of the points cam that the rotor covers when in place. The felt can be seen in the pic. I would suggest getting two new springs...
