Hey Fella's
Regarding this chafed wire thing, I got thinking (yes, sometimes I think) that a few years ago I sent an 8BA distributor to a good rebuilder. When I installed it the vacuum advance did not advance. So, I found out that the rebuilder found that chafed wire and instead of replacing it they put a piece of shrink wrap on it. Since both ends have terminals they had to use large size shrink wrap to get over the terminals. When they shrunk it, it became so rigid that it could not flex and restrained the plate from moving. So, this was the second time I got hit with the dreaded chafed wire syndrome .
