You apparently found a way to get a feeler gauge in there and get a measurement. I don't see how. When the disty was all together the shaft spun...
THANKS, Andy! I've been stuck on how to physically measure the gap - 2 weeks now. You have done this? Did you have to remove the lower plate &...
OK, Adrian, I have perhaps the most basic question of all: how on earth to physically measure gap on these?? Please see photo The disty is apart...
OK, Derek, I'm not always this dumb but I need to ask a simply question about HOW you were measuring VR gap At first I thought you had to remove...
Hey, Derek Have the dist'y apart and looks bad for one of the VRs. Insulation gone where the wires enter the plastic stay. Wasn't corrorion I...
This "looks like" an equivalent, but is it electronically the same (same # windings, etc.)? Ohms seem OK ...
Dang it. "Out of Stock"
Went ahead and removed the top cover w/ VR plate. See attached. Insulation is completely gone where wires fit into the plastic stay. Also it seems...
Thank you, Adrian SYMPTOM: Weak spark, rear bank. Good spark, front bank. Swapping the amplifier/coil packs does NOT shift the problem to the...

Oops - forgot to attach the photo (attached here) [ATTACH]
Hey again, Derek. Got sidetracked by a carb. rebuild but back on the ignition problem now Have not pulled the dist'y but with the cap off the VR...
And, if I need to replace a VR ... that's the one item (unless I missed something) you didn't give part numbers for. I'm in the USA (Texas); would...
Mr. Alhbln ~~ Back on the dist'y problem after going at carb. rebuilds. Seems maybe I have a bad VR even though the resistance seems sort of OK on...
THAT's curious (and makes sense!). Why in my case? Because the car starts very hard, then idles very rough, but after a minute or 2 when I can...
Sorry - I was unclear. The engine turns over and starts (albeit running poorly) with the OEM wire. Then, disconnecting that 1 OEM coil wire (rear...
Was just referred to this thread and to my surprise people are still asking Q's & you are still responding! Wow. PERFECT description of symptoms...
Super. Also shows where the locking tab is (I have an unbroken history of breaking the tabs on connectors as I pull & yank on 'em) ps: where...
OMG, Derek. Can't believe how flat out fortunate I am to have you seen my message! The lin k is EXACTLY the ignition configuration on my car, and...
Thanks, Tutte. Have a charger trickling; will check in the morning Thought your idea to swap amplifiers; see if problem moves to the front bank...
