Re: IML: Ignition failure 2



Don't forget that mechanical advance can be perceived as slop.

A rebuilt distributor would cure this problem. I don't think there should be that much slop in the shaft.

I had the distributor cap off and the rotor seemed to
have excessive play, not that I know what that would
be. If you described the circle that the outer edge
of the rotor makes, the rotor pivots back and forth
about 2-3cm Seems sloppy to me. I have not put a
timing light on it to see if the spark timing is
jumping around. Plan to do so, right?

In my '62 I bent the distributor shaft once - the car wouldn't stay in tune at all that way. -Kle.
