There are actually a number of things that can go wrong with one of our distributors. Most can be avoided or postponed by good maintenance, but after 35 years they deserve some real TLC. I rebuild these for $55 and it's often worthwhile. In the meantime, make sure to put a drop of oil in the top of the dist shaft periodically and clean the dist cam every time you have the cap off, then smear a tiny bit of cam grease on there. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
