Replacing my points distributor
Thought I would drag this post out again. On the SkipWhite distributors do you have to do any thing with vac advance of just drop it in and go?
to answer your question, (both of them) first, i did not have a problem w/the shaft being to long. 2nd, thats pretty much what i did, dropped it, in set it, and have not touched it since. (about 3-4 years ago) the vacuum advance is adjustable (most are) but i have not needed to play with it, the car launches hard, cruises and idles great, and starts right up. I run ngk iridium spark plugs (oh no!! more jap crap!!) which came with a .035 plug gap, i opened them up to .045 even though the manufacturer advised against it. this can be done, just be careful not to damage the electrode.
the only big mod was i had to convert my spark plug wires to a female end at the cap, they come with a male (cap).
you can order it with a female cap though........i tried to do this but they screwed up my order, so i just kept the male one.
let the bitching begin!!!! lol.........
