Thank you, 512! I see the mounting plate lacks a rounded corner - I guess what you are speaking about. So - the adjustment slot (not the pivot...
Quick/urgent question just in case someone runs across this in the next day or so I just ordered a pair of replacement VRs from Ricambio...
Yep, BB, I so agree with your last sentence. Unbelievable that people would spend their time with someone they have never met just to help them...
Man, again, THANKS for taking the time to reply and to offer up your experiences. I REALLY appreciate it. The traces you saw on mine have nothing...
OMG, LCS, you have no idea how much I appreciate a response! This distributor has been sitting in the corner of my office (and the car crippled in...
Hello Adrian If you are still around .... you were helping me here with a '79 Euro distributor about 1-1/2 years ago. Back then I became...
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 &...

Went ahead and removed the disty, marking things carefully. Good thing, that marking because I forgot you specifically said to mark the base...
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...
