Take the cap off by releasing the two clips on the side all you need to get to is right there. Pay close attention to the order of things when you take the nut off that holds the points set down. The

No, it's easy. Well, it would be easy if the bolts were at all accessible. The trick is NOT to undo the distributor clamping bolt -- this loses your timing, and repeated overtightening of this bolt i

I agree: I took the dizzy out to work on it and didn't have any trouble putting it back in and getting the timing right. I made a mark on the housing and the block too, to have a starting point when

Make sure you are not trying to put it in 180 degrees out of alignment. Before you say it isn't possible, loosen it up, rotate it and see if it drops the rest of the way in... -- Andrew Lundgren lund

The base of the distributor where it fits into the clamp is a narrow area and of soft metal. Loosening the clamp bolt and turning the distributor can, over time and many adjustments, wear this area a

What you don't want is a distributor with the clap. If you *do* find that rotating it 180 degrees allows it to seat properly you will also need to rotate the plug leads on the cap 180 degrees before

Basically it's an issue of points. On a standard (non-electronic) Lucas 25D4 or 45D4 distributor there is a single set of points. On the Mallory, there are two sets of points which will produce a ho
