Fast Fab Distributor Clamp Install Tips

Post by Jim Ed »

I read this at aircooled.net
https://vwparts.aircooled.net/Fast-Fab- ... tclamp.htm

ACN ALERT! We have received numerous reports that users can experience ignition "issues" with the use of anodized or painted distributor clamps. So now we strongly recommend that when installing a part like this, that you sand THROUGH the anodizing on the clamp in 2 locations; where the clamp grabs the distributor, and where the clamp contacts the case (Where it's invisible when installed).

This ensures that the distributors electrical connections (grounding) are intact, and that it will work properly! No misfires due to a lack of distributor ground!

Also, this fits only fits T1 based MAGNESIUM cases, IT DOES NOT FIT ALUMINUM CASES! Aluminum cases have a rounded top which interferes with the seating of the billet aluminum clamps.
Price: $29.95
Country of Manufacture or Origin: Made in USA

It looks like the existing clamp hold down stud is not going to be long enough for the Fast Fab clamp.
Today I ordered a M8 x 1.25 x 40mm stud to replace the 30 mm stud.
