Re: [VintageLambo] Re: 400GT ignition problem found

Hi Fred - I marked the rotor position and pulled the dist. last night, it would be impossible (for me) to even look in there, no less work on anything. I noticed that a grounding strap attached on one dist. mounting bolt is attached at the other end to the coolant tank?!? Is this right, seems weird to me. Now to find a distributor machine.

Certainly and old PowerWagon guy should have a Sun Distributor Machine sitting around in his shop somewhere? ;^D Fred
