I have a very nice almost new distributor that I was going to try out today but on trying to put it in I noticed that it's off 180 from the one in now. Can this be "changed"?
If so how? yes all numbers match s |

I thought the same thing. Looking at the timing I verified that the rotor is pointing close to the mark on the distributor when #1 is at TDC. So I then have to assume it's the spare on that was rebuilt that got put back together 180 off. I also considered that I could put the wires in so that they would fire correctly timing wise for the other one but if I can pull the bottom off and have it lined up correctly that would be the better option.
Btw Bruce: that misfiring issue I've been posing about , appears to be the trigger points plate. I replaced it with the one I got from you last month and to running great. Started right up this morning too. When I pulled the plugs #2&4 were like they were brand new and #1&3 were very sooty - a big clue that only one set of points was firing properly. I thing that points plate I bought new 2 years ago might be one of those Chinese after market copies. |
