I'm trying to trace & fix my electrical problems (ignition and fuel pump). One thing just keeps leading to another, new problem.
The green wire from the condenser recently fried; I looked inside the distributor, and the points were burned and the interior wire was fried as well. Then I noticed that the ground wire (copper braided wire) was holding on by one thread. So, I'm looking for the following: Bosch Distributor Contact Breaker Plate Note: For Vacuum Advance distributors only PP says it is no longer available. Anyone know where I can get one? Or, if it is unavailable, what is the next best option? YELLOW = ground wire RED = crispy interior wire GREEN = burnt condenser wire (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-17951-1454802519.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-17951-1454802519.2.jpg) |

I know this is cheap, but I had great luck with this module.
http://m.ebay.com/itm/Electronic-Ignition-...0849?nav=SEARCH You can keep your coil or replace it with something hotter. My car seemed to idle better with the new high output coil and the pointless module. I even increased the plug gap, with no ill effects. This module is still prone to fail with the key on and engine not running, so you will need to break that habit. I bought a second unit that sits in my glove box as a backup |
