Distributor rebuild and install

 Disy reinstall

Now the distributor has been rebuilt and recurved to suit more modern fuels, it was then time to reinstall.

Here are a few pictures of the freshly rebuilt distributor with the Pertronix I reinstalled and ready to fire.

The unit has been adjusted to run at 10 to 12deg rather than the factory 6deg and the mechanical advance has been recurved.




  The units is now installed and the engine is purring nicely.
