Hi all,
I'm considering replacing the Distributor in my '74 2.6 SIII 109. I recently pulled it apart as the truck was running poorly, and the advance weights were seized, and I think I mangled one of the springs a bit getting it unstuck. I was able to rebend/attach, but I know this will have an adverse affect on the performance. I'm still working on getting the truck running decent, and I've noticed quite a bit of clickity sounds coming from the dizzy, which leads me to think the spring maybe came loose or something is amiss. I think if I have to replace or rebuild the unit, I'd like to get a new electronic one, but I'm having a hard time finding something appropriate. Has anyone with a 2.6 ever swapped theirs out?
The Lucas Distributor on mine has the following stamped on it: 41676A
