so my litle silver 1972 1.7 L has been running, not running, running...
i broke a piece in my stock dist. the ball bearing/advance hold down armature. went to a shop, figuring they had parts, they replaced my dist. was not the right dist, shorter dist cap, diff rotor.. so i yarded it out, stole the advance hold down and points, swapped them over and realized I didnt mark my position. then i noticed the dist had an offset connection, only one way to go in! OK, put the new one in, rotate the dist cam, popped into place. reset the points, did a visual dist position and cranked over, no start. odd. checked plug 1,4,3,2 firing order, position of number one on dist and to plug... hmmm... this dist worked fine until it broke, now its fixed... cant buy a new/used one... ive checked around... no love... sigh... |
