Ring Any Bells?

[Peter Berrevoets]

Distributor.

Intermitent fault, can be repaired but you have to disassemble the
distributor by driving or drilling out the pin in the drive gear. No new pin
is available and you will have to source a clevis pin to replace it. Bring
in the old hall sender to a bosch dealer and he can get you the part.
