Well, I was just assuming the old set that had a collar was Bosch, but I don't know for sure. >I clean up the cams when I rebuild a dist.

I always clean the grease off the cam and re-lube anytime I'm in the dist. I use the white general purpose Lithium grease. Do others have a better recommendation? In reference to my original problem, the grease was fine on the cam (it had only been in there for few weeks). I thought later, that maybe the points weren't fully down when I put them in. That's the only other thing that I could come up with. Craig !----------------------------! ! Craig Woolston ! ! '70 Sqback, FI, AT->MT ! !
