Broken rotor on crab distributor

[Mart]

^^ What do you use as a reference surface to true them up, Ted? The mating diameter to the distributor body?

Its not something I do every day ,you run the risk of cracking the cap ,your reference is the locating ridge were the clips go .I do quiet a few distributors most I hand work with a dermal like Bubba does ,If The bushes are worm they show a fluctuating needle on the dwell meter ,I have been doing a few electronic refits lately, that solves it .Ted

Think I'm missing something here. After an electronic conversion, you've still got a rotor spinning around in a cap with the potential for collision.True?

A lot of people forget to have a gasket between cap and body. Sometimes it is just that simple.
