FIT THE KIT

Tech Tip Don’t force the ring. It should slide easily into place.

-

Fit ring 1

Remove the rotor arm and fit the ring to the top of the distributo­r shaft. It should only fit one way round. If it’s tight, dress the inside with abrasive paper or deburr the edge with a sharp knife.

2 Fit trigger unit

Heat-sink paste is supplied with the kit. Put a few blobs of it under the trigger unit. Screw the unit on in place of the points. Aim for an even gap of 0.1-0.4mm between the trigger unit and the ring.

Secure wiring 3

Fit the rotor arm. Run the wires loosely round the distributo­r and use a cable tie to fix them neatly out of the way. Allow a little slack to accommodat­e the movement of the vacuum advance mechanism.
