Default Re: Distributor wiring

The only issue with the lower plate is the pigtail connector that flexes as the upper plate moves with the spark advance. Over many years, the insulation can break and the pigtail can short out against the body of the distributor. This so called fix does not change the underlying issue. That wire from the armored cable direct to the points can chafe as the upper plate is moved too.
