Does anyone know if a Flamethrower distributor uses a custom dust cover in the innards?
I popped mine off during my last valve adjustment and for the life of me I cannot get the distributor cap to clamp down with the existing dust cover in place. It seems like the notches and cutouts of the dust cover are not correct to fit the dizzy. I put it on last time, but have no idea how it ever fit or how I ever got the cap to clamp down. Running it now without the dust cover, but I'd like to have it in place. Osnabruck914 |
