Default Re: Noise!

Noise coming from the distributor:

In addition to a worn out shaft and bushings, another cause could be the tip of the rotor striking one or more of the four electrical posts. Upper repo distributor caps are notorious for being of poor quality in the area of the four posts. There should be a gap between the tip of the rotor and each post between .025 and .035 (depending on personal choice). Repo caps should always be fitted to the distributor by filing the post or the tip of the rotor.
