unit which never working.

functional unit. I=E2=80=99d certainly be interested in hearing.

Subject: [TR] Distributor help
=20
I have a =E2=80=9856 TR3 with a 40798B Lucas distributor installed. It =
has been in the car for the last 35 years and has worked fine. =
I=E2=80=99m cleaning up the engine while the body is out for paint, =
mostly detailing and fixing leaks. It was rebuilt some time ago but has =
very low miles on it since the rebuild. Anyway, I had the distributor =
apart to clean it up and found that the vacuum unit isn=E2=80=99t =
working. I went to the big three to find a vacuum unit and my =
distributor isn=E2=80=99t listed. In fact, I can=E2=80=99t find a =
reference for this distributor at all except that moss lists a cam to =
fit it under their TR3 section. None of the vacuum units available are =
made to this distributor. Can anyone give me an idea of where this =
distributor is used? It obviously can be used in a TR3, but what is the =
difference from the ones listed in the parts books? Finally, does =
anyone know of a place to find a vacuum unit for this distributor? Any =
and old help is greatly appreciated.
Pete
