    Distributor cover melted

    Sincerely appreciate the things to check, but I have a “no start”, issue. Wouldn’t things relating to advance/retard be a runability issue ? This whole thing started, when I replaced: wires, rotor, cap & plugs. Couldn’t restart after. No coughing, back firing, or sputtering, just cranking &...

    Distributor cover melted

    Well hunting season came & went, many other little chores to get the O’l homestead stocked with firewood, tools and projects cleaned up out of the driveway before snow fall. And I never did get the 40 restarted. Cold & dark mist the day, so relented and took the old girl into a local shop...

    Distributor cover melted

    It was running fine, just doing basic maintenance since it had been awhile. However the rig had been sitting for several years. (Maybe moved around the driveway once or twice a winter to shovel snow). Just completed a quick 25 mike highway run to warm diff fluids so also could drain quick &...

    That airflow looks like was functioning, the nipple on the small vacuum line is the one melted, implying the air exiting the dizzy after it was heated. I Still need to figure out why the heat in the first place & fix it

    I search on “control valve”, but don’t see anything relevant. Is there a better or more specific search term ?

    I will check that, but it seems to me, that if the heat was general by the shaft, the melting would be centered around the shaft. I wish I understood better the components of this gen distributor

    The rig has been sitting for a few years. I’ve been running 35’s for years, and just had the diff’s regeared to 4.88’s. RPM’s are higher but no tach, to say what actual RPM’s are. Went 20 miles on the freeway to break-in & change out fluids. Max speed via GPS was 64 MPH Any chance I just...

    Distributor cover melted

    All vents/vacuum lines were attached. However, all probably original rubber, and could be stretched out or cracked and not tightly fitting

    I was a little surprised to see what appears to be rust inside the distributor

    Distributor cover melted

    So now I am a little freaked out. Doesn’t start after the ignition change out. Double checked the wires, so guess I need to see if the coil is working. But took some more pic’s showing heat on the cap & rotor. Seems more focused under the port for the red line coming from the firewall

    Distributor cover melted

    Replacing plugs, cap, wires & rotor on the original 2F in a 1980 FJ 40 This looks like it’s melted. What does it do ? Anybody have a PN for whatever this is ? So what if it’s melted, how will this effect performance?
