I decided to give a repair a try for the wires from the plug to the hall
sensor in my passenger side distributor. I got the pin out, the wires
seemed ok, but I decided to replace them anyway since I had suitable
replacements. Turns out that the ground wire was corroded about halfway
from the hall to the plug. So all replaced, and JB weld worked perfect for
the plug, should be cured by morning.
But there's always one thing. When I took it apart, I forgot to note the
position of the ridge on the ring that is held on by the pin. It lines up
with the gap in the cup that the hall sensor reads. I snapped a couple pics
too. Does anyone have a passenger side dizzy on the bench they could take
a look at to see how the gap lines up with the ridge on theirs? Does the
ridge sit to the right or the left when looking at the gap?
I also think the contacts at the back of the plug were grounding on the
distributor casing, shouldn't be an issue now.
