Does anybody know of a Canadian source for distributor cap, rotor, points... ?
I tried sourcing some at FLAPS, but whatever they gave me doesn't actually fit. |

QUOTE(cwpeden @ Sep 6 2016, 09:24 PM)  Mark Henry may know. Port Hope isn't far from Kitchener Kitchener is still a fair distance and if you're going to mobymutt's place (Kingston) it's about a 4+ hour round trip in the wrong direction (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Sometimes I have them in stock, but cip1.ca has them, the cap,rotor points etc are all Bay window bus (T4) parts. The only caveat is their cheap stuff is often junk, try to get the name brand stuff. Spend $100 and it's free ground shipping, about 7 days. The mid level shipping is a total waste of money, FedEx is spendy but you will have the part in your hands next day. |

Apparently I have the 'rare' Bosch 050 distributor (full p/n 9 230 081 050). Even cip1 has no cap or rotor that fits for sure. It seems that maybe I should just get a whole new distributor, and get rid of the points at the same time. Know of any one in particular that will work? I have weber IDF 40 carbs. Somebody just told me I can clean the green crap off the cap and it will work again, so I guess I'll try that next... |
