Re: [TR] setting the points ASAP PLEASE

["Paul Dorsey" <dorpaul@negia.net>]

Yikes then!
I have 2 distributors, one from a 3A and the other from a TR4.  I also bought
several new Lucas points (DTB150 TK50 'fits most British cars') from TRF and
they match the old set I replaced.
I've properly placed them but when set to a .015 gap they DO NOT ever touch!
What Should I do?

    I'm trying to set the points in my distributor.  So... If the .015" gap
    occurs at the 4 'corners' of the cam, then shouldn't the points actually
    touch when the 'brush' is not resting on those corners?




  Paul,
  Yes, the two halves close and touch.
