Default Re: Broken rotor on crab distributor

I set up a distributor for a friend for a Vintage stock car night ,I went down for a look and hear he was parked up after only one race ,We found out later he fitted a new cap and rotor and there was the Rotor in two pieces , So in his case it was the added parts that were at fault ,these repoped bits are not that accurate .In the Ford books they recommend to set the air gap on the rotor divers Helmet so the crab would be the same ,Just don't ask me how you do it a set of callipers maybe ,turn the cap terminals in a laith or go to Charlie. this would be a good reason why people change to electronic ,Air gap to wide = weak spark ,Ted
