Hello, I've got two questions:
1. I took out my distributor from an engine that had been running, noting
the position of the rotor. The shaft appears off-set to one-side supposedly
preventing me from re-inserting it differently. When I turned the dizzy
upside down a nut, a lockwasher and a tiny bead of broken-off solder fell
out. I was not too alarmed. But then I attempted to rotate the shaft while
it was still upssidewn (I had previously removed the points). and I found
the turning rough! Once , It did-not turn at all, for a second. I righted
it, installed the points and condenser, and correctly got it back in
position moounted on the engine. Turning the engine over with the
crankshaft pulley with a socket-wrench requires a good deal of effort and
therefore I can't gauge any resistance that might be just due to the dizzy
alone. But turning the engine over by hand does seem to turn the cam
approatiely.
Was the dizzy's turning irregularity (albeit upside down) a concern?
2. Upon reattempting to set my points, I am seeing that their red plastic
arm (that rubs the four sided cam) only makes contact with the cam on the
courners where it seems to correctly open to .015 at the widest part of it's
opening, right?
Thanks, Paul
