Yes, a very good video but there is more to a rebuild than what was shown. For instance no lubrication inside the distributer was shown. You cant put it together DRY like that. Different lube required on various components. No mention of aligning the contacts or testing the rotor or coil. No condenser ??? Back in the day I rebuilt dozens of these distributers and never did fit any shrink sleeving or other insulation on the shaft under the rotor, but I do it now. Otherwise a good video. Regards, Kevin.
