I used a white lithium grease to grease up a breaker plate. Watch for the little ball bearings and check them for flat spots. You'll probably see some grooves in the plate itself too. Hopefully, they

Can the vacuum control unit be removed from the distributor & replaced? If so, any ideas on the best way to do it? Thanks in advance, Charlotte & Leonard Hoover Phoenix, Arizona '64 SPL310 1500 '64 S

Sure. Just remove the two screws holding the unit to the distributor housing and wiggle it around so the arm comes off the post on the vacuum advance plate. Gordon Glasgow Renton, WA /// datsun-roads

Hi Dave, I pulled my dist to re-curve it and got it in 180 out. I was too lazy to change it back. Just ran the wires accordingly. This was 20 years ago! As long as the wires start in the right spot a

I would believe it's just easier to move the gear 180 rather than the tang. If you can remember the angle it came out you can easily reinsert it. Took me about 5 minutes. Getting off that spring wire

Hello all, I have a tech question. I have read about the conversion of smog distributors to non smog, but there is an unanswered question. Will a non smog (pre 1968) 1600 distributor work in a 2000?

Sidney asks: Yup. As far as I know, the only difference is that the vacuum modulator on a 1600 uses a threaded fitting and a 2000 is a slip-on. Correct size of rubber tubing takes care of that minor

I just checked Tom Walters' Distributor FAQ to be sure, and as I thought, the "17.5" denotes the degree of advance the distributor is set to. Seems odd for a 67.5 - I would have thought it would have

Oh, reason you could not remove the distributor cam is the screw is hiding under the rubber cap in the middle of the distributor. You know where the rotor goes, sometimes there is a rubber cap in th

This sometimes works: Find an old radio speaker, with as large a magnet as possible and "sweep" the area with it. If the screw is steel it will be picked p by the magnet. FWIW E ...snip...
