[200q20v] Vol 1 #196 - 6 msgs (stainless brake tubing )

Fri Jan 26 20:38:02 EST 2001

To all,
I have found a supplier for the darn thing(s)
I was (again) on the phone toa supplier in Brazil that I normally use for
other prototype components for my project car (t44) and he says he will
be looking at weather he can do it or not.

For this I had to create a drawing detailing the fittings and line end forms
with all specs on it....(I'm a designer by trade)...he said he will quote
and let me know back. since it is Friday and Friday is at an end here in
Europe I guess
this will continue Monday.

Oh yes the place is called (INOX-PAR) there is a link on my web-site
under "suppliers".

> Hey all,

install the dist. and have high level of certainty that it's "dead nuts on"
where it is specked to be.  I will try to get ahold of Ned Ritchie, in fact,
I'm going to be in Olympia today, and maybe I can just pop my head in.  As
far as the special tool, I think I figured that one out.  When you put the
new dist. the seat theres quite a bit of resistance due to the o-ring on the
dist. periphery, so you can only push it in so far.  So my guess is that as
the dist. is forced the rest of the way in with the bolt on the hold down
clamp, the rotor will have a tendency to move relative to the dist body as
the gears mesh further.  I'm thinking the tool is used to keep the correct
reference/timing point on the distributor as it is forced further into the
engine head.  If that's the case, then I guess I could just turn everything
back to reference, assuming there's not too much frictive force once the
dist. is in pl!

> Another question, anybody know how the timing is advanced and retarded on
this ignition setup; there's obviously no mechanical means for that.  Does
the coil have enough control so that it can send the spark from variable
locations on the rotor, to the cap?  That's the only thing I can think of,
but then the advance and retard would be limited by the length of the blade
on the rotor (or how many degrees the rotor blade length corresponds to).
This question's not really essential, but helpful for understanding the
system.
