My wife's TR 250 has unfortunately been out of commission since last fall.
One of the things I noticed is that the breaker plates seem a little loose. I
was able to press down on one side of the plate while it was in the
distributor and it will go up and down. So I took it out to look at it. On
the side of the plates where the ground wire is attached, there is a locating
pin that goes down through bottom plate. This seems to be where the play
comes in. The pin has a groove in it that looks like it should fit the key
way in the plate fairly tightly. It doesn't.
The breaker plates don't seem to be available, so I can't replace it. I
thought I would drop in a Pertronix (I have one on my Spitfire and like it)
but I realized it sits on the same plate.
So my questions are:
Is this play normal?
Does it cause a problem?
WIll the Pertronix have a similar problem? Or since there are no points will
it not be affected?
Are the plates available somewhere?
Thanks,
Roger Elliott
