Re: What is this distributor?

Thanks. I'll take a closer look at it. I thought it was points distributor, but didn't see the contacts to inspect for cleaning. It's got some rust under the weights so I'll just pull it apart and inspect. Thanks for the help.

There was a condenser on the side of the coil. Does that mean I should eliminate the second exterior condenser?

If you rotate the distributor shaft you'll see the points open and close.

The one on the coil is to do away with the "audio tach" feature on your AM radio. Just kidding, it's the ignition noise suppressor.

Disassembled the distributor to clean things up and inspect. Definitely see the points now and they need to be replaced. They are all jagged like they had been stuck together at some point in the past and didn’t separate cleanly.

Haha, Yuccales I do know exactly what you mean on the AM stations.

Thanks again guys
