Electronic Ignition: Overhaul: Distributor: Reassembly

  1. Test operation of governor weights and inspect weight springs for distortion. Lubricate governor weights. Inspect all bearing surfaces and pivot pins for roughness, binding, or looseness. Lubricate and install upper thrust washer on shaft and slide shaft into distributor body.
  2. Install distributor shaft retainer or gear and pin. Install lower plate, upper plate and pick-up coil assembly. Attach vacuum advance unit. Position reluctor keeper pin into place on reluctor sleeve. Slide reluctor down reluctor sleeve and press firmly into place. Install reluctor so that 2 arrows are on top.
  3. In a clockwise distributor, arrow at keeper pin holding reluctor in place should point clockwise. In a counterclockwise distributor, arrow should point counterclockwise. If arrow at the distributor pin does not point in direction of distributor rotation, remove reluctor, turn reluctor 180 degrees and reinstall. Use care not to lose keeper pin. Lubricate felt pad in top of reluctor sleeve with a drop of light oil and install rotor.
