I have a 1970 911 6 Cyl 2.2T in my teener. My question is about the distributor and how it works. I understand the whole rotor and cap system and how that works. More curious about the internals(gears?) and the weights. I have been told a little bit but would like some clarification. Something I have heard is that if the weights in the distributor are not working properly then the timing will be off?
Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Spray it down the center. Maybe take a pick and remove the felt so it can soak in faster. That felt is where you put light oil. Like sewing machine oil. It's not the actual weights that usually stick, it's the two shafts, the top one kinda moves on the lower one that engages the drive.
