Should my rotor and the metal tube it sits on be able to turn 360 deg. by hand as if the engine is cranking? Makes me think the total distributor is broke... Thus then how do I know what size / kind to replace it with. AA in atlanta wants serious bucks and other online are like 1/4 of the price but not sure if am looking at the correct replacements.

Hey Al & Jim,
My short question is what kind of distributor do I want to look for if I want to replace the enitre thing. I am working with the one that already is on the engine. And am able to turn the rotor and its assembly around and around by hand. It does sort of lock into a place like a notch but i can turn it. Though when you try to start the engine it does rotate by itself. But I was told by a neighbor that the rotor and metal tube it sits on should maybe wiggle a little by hand but not move more than that . evan |
