Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;) Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16 |
I installed a crane XR700 in my dizzy and the rotor seems to be sit a little high now. When you look into the bottom of the rotor you will see a molded key thang that sets into a notch in the distributor shaft. This prevents the rotor from spinning once it is pushed onto the shaft.
When I push the rotor onto the shaft it hits the black optical disc. The molded thang in the rotor really doesn't set into the notch very deeply. If I twist the rotor by hand it will pop out of the notch and spin on the shaft. Can anyone measure the amount of shaft that extends above the optical disc for me? Cheers |

that is the shutter wheel. it has a bit of a 'hat' to it. the hex depression is molded into the other side. it also has "221" in very small numbers on one of the petals. maybe your kit somehow wound up with a 6-cyl shutter wheel for a different kind of car. (?). i have found the guys at Crane customer service to be *extremely* helpful; they helped me a lot getting my bracketry set up when it was mostly just my inability to visualise how to put the pieces together. (IOW - i had an image of how i thought it "should" go together, but it goes together a completely different way.) as helpful as their guys were, it all could have been avoided with ONE decent diagram (instead of the zero supplied...) anyway - if you don't have that shutter wheel, get one. probably all the guys with 4-cylinder cars have one in their spares pile :-) ... |
