I know there should be a small felt disk on top of the distributor shaft under the rotor (can't find it in the usual parts books, though). I know the felt should be oiled--presumably to lubricate th

Hi Bob, You Could check with Jeff @ Advanced Distributors http://www.advanceddistributors.com , but I'd guess any thick piece of felt would work. Cheers, Greg --Original Message-- Listers, I know the

The felt is often missing and in my opinion not really a neccessity if you check the distributor regularly and at the same time add a drop of oil (3in1)on that spot. It is for lubricating the top lo

Hmmmmm .... does that mean if you have a Pertonix or other electronic ignition the oil isn't necessary? Bob -- ** Bob Spidell San Jose, CA bspidell@comcast.net ** ____________________________________

You would still need lubrication as the electronic ignition is merely replacing the points, not the centrifugal advance mechanism, and it is this centrifugal advance system that makes the part with

After bragging about our 100M's compression numbers I have a concern. We seem to be getting a lot of pulsed pressure in the valve cover, as felt at the oil filler hole. There is very little pressure

Did you put on a rear crank seal? If so then crank case pressure will probably vent upwards. What about the crankcase ventilator on the side of the motor, is it pulsing too? -- Sent from my mobile de

Yes, we did (put on a rear crank seal). Why would that cause upward pulsing? The crankcase ventilator--think that's what I'm calling the road draft tube--has very little pulsing pressure, which doesn

That was our first thought, too. But the head was rebuilt by an extremely meticulous mechanic (a New Zealander living in Modesto, CA) so although it's possible it's not probable. Trying to figure out

There will always be blow-by. That is why there is a crankcase ventilation system. It will usually be high in a new engine until the rings seat and in older engines as they wear, but it can't be elim

Pulsing is normal, just like pressure to an extent. Pulsing is caused by the pistons and the cam followers moving in their bores. If the pressure is not high, and the blowby gas is not too much, ther

It's just one less place for the crankcase to vent, so you feel it more up top. -- Sent from my mobile device _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www
