Some days it’s all I can do to find 20 minutes to tackle some small job on whatever project I’m working on, much less take the time to write about it.\u00a0 Yesterday afternoon I degreased, inspected and noted any parts needing replacement on the mechanical advance Bosch distributor that the TI is going to use.\u00a0 I get asked a lot how I manage to get these projects done seemingly fairly quickly and I always say it’s not the few long days that gets it done but the countless 20 minute sessions where I tackle one small job.<\/p>\n

\"dizzy<\/a>A quick test fit with the clamp in place of the newly spiffed up distributor.\u00a0 Red Cavis wires are like new.\u00a0 I’ll check the resistance through each wire to see if their all the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"dissy<\/a>This is where I started.\u00a0 Oily from years of doing its job in a less than perfectly sealed engine.\u00a0 Note the spade connector for the condensor.\u00a0 All the wires on this thing are spade connectors.\u00a0 Very convenient.<\/strong>
\n\"IMG_8433\"<\/a>The points look fine but the cap and rotor are both well used looking.\u00a0 I’ll try and run it with them and if they work keep them in the trunk as spares, but before I get serious about driving with this engine they will be replaced.\u00a0 I’ll probably replace the condensor and points while I’m in there since it’s easy to do and they are inexpensive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All of 20 minutes and my distributor is clean enough to handle without gloves, it has been found to have\u00a0no play in the shaft\u00a0and I know the parts I need to order for the rebuild.\u00a0 They were not on my original budget, but points, condensor, cap and rotor sets are fairly cheap.\u00a0 Tonight I plan on cleaning up the water pump, starter and alternator and if I can buy a compression checking set from Sears I’ll verify the compression.\u00a0 No sense installing an engine with a bum cylinder right?<\/p>\n

TI tidy ten. (forgot nine. Sorry nine!)<\/a>
