Re: Worn Distributor rotor
Another tip learned over the years:
Use same brand name rotor and cap ...... Mixed brands often hit...... |

Loose or defective connection. Starts with a small gap increasing as heat etc makes gap larger. Larger gap higher voltage until the gap is so large it wont jump any more...... |

Re: Worn Distributor rotor
Got it Tiger. I mic the hole today in a couple of rotors, they are tapered, I'm going make a spigot with a tapper that will tap in the hole of the rotor, sounds like the best idea so far. I want to see if I can get .010 clearance. I've got to admit I've had them before with a couple tits hitting and just grind a little off the rotor, I can see now thanks to Babba that grinding is not good. Walt

1. Clay works but there is no method of accurately measuring it suited to my attention span. 2. I used 3m painters tape for no particular reason and got light drag on one terminal with 3 layers, approximately .011 gap. I added a fourth layer and got light drag on all terminals, approximately .014" gap. 3. My brand new rotor will rotate .10" inch around the distributor shaft rendering it unusable. The measurements above are from the 40 year old cap and rotor that came with my truck. |
