Well...better late then never :oops: ...besides the off-season has just ended up here, the car has now passed the mandatory every 2nd year test with a blank page and a praise from the inspector...

The visible defects in the distributor were:
-Copper pigtail earth wire loose from the plate
-A lot of slop at the end of the skinny spring
-EFI breaker points not having close to zero resistance, but after cleaning they are practically at 0 Ohms!!
-Generally light corrosion an un-lublicated

I also put new breaker points in at the same time which is easy with the dizzy in your hands.
