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) |

Just replace your points, condenser and use soldering wick to replace the copper braid.
