Hello all,
Hope everyone is well and had a good Thanksgiving.
I have a question about my distributor on my 1974 Sonett III .I know the distributor does not have a bushing at the drive end, and, which "wallows out" to a larger hole over time. This makes for a loose cam at the top, which makes point gap vary all over the place., dwell varies, and ignition timing varies.
My question is would this have an effect on my PerTronix ignition.
I have about 4000 miles on the motor from my last tune up and it's been running fine until the other day it started idling rough at low RPMs. I checked the plug wires and found that when I pulled the # 2 wire there was no change in motor idle. The plug looked liked it had been firing but I replaced the wire anyway .I checked the timing and it was spot on ,6 BTDC at cranking speed.
I found no vacuum leaks ,so I am thinking it may be the distributor.Overall I have about 9000 miles on this fresh motor rebuild and have not had a lick of trouble ,until now.
Thank for your time.
Moon
