Default Re: Intake manifold getting hot

Burner31, When you rebuilt your distributor, did you put in a new points cam? If so check the finish of the cam. I rebuilt a distributor a couple of years ago w/a new points cam. I didn't inspect the cam, I just expected it to be good, and it wasn't. It didn't take long for it to wear down the rubbing block on the points causing running problems. I found the finish on the new points cam was quite rough and ended up smoothing it out w/crocus cloth to a glass like surface. I also had to replace the point arm as the rubbing block was worn down past usable.
