914-6, 1970 - all stock
All, I just rebuilt the distro in this car, one of the videos I watched the tech used a Sun distro tester.  The testing procedure was to take advance and I believe dwell measurements through the typical RPM range -in both directions - to measure the springs/weights, etc.... This process is new to me, I have always set the dwell and then timing, how important is this dynamic process?

When you rebuild a distro - do you consider this level of assessment? We don’t generally rebuild them. It has been useful to check functionality. We bought a pms 12 lead dizzy and the advance is messed up. Verified on the sun machine. |
