I have been absent for a while and my car has sat, but upon running the car around i notice that the power was gone in the upper RPMs. I put electronic ignition in it thinking that might help, but it did not. After taking it to a shop they told me the distributor was bad.
The shop wants me to replace the distributor which is the original vacuum advance one, with a 123 distributor. I am looking to sell the car, so putting a $500+ distributor is not on my agenda. Is there any way to loose the vacuum advance or am I stuck having this original one rebuilt. Not looking to break the bank either. Aidan |

Hijacked.... ANyone for my last question? If your car is a 1.7 or a 2.0 with d-jet injection you cannot replace the distributor with an 009 or an 050. Your existing distributor has a second set of points in the bottom of the distributor that control the injection pulses. Without those pulses the injection will not work. I seriously doubt that your timing is changing by 10 degrees. It is possible that your distributor is worn and the dwell angle is changing by 10 degrees. You can install a Pertronix in the distributor and it will mostly solve your dwell issue as Pertronix eliminate adjustable dwell. Your timing will still fluctuate a little because of the worn distributor shaft. The only way to fix it is to re-bush/re-build it or replace it. |
