this weekend's project is putting the engine topside back together on 3441 (well at least attempting to) in the process of re-assembling most of the sub-assemblies, the question of lubricating the ignition and fuel distributors have come up the fuel distributor plunger seems to be lubricated with oil, and possibly the roller on the counterweight arm I seem to recall that ignition advance weights are lubricated with grease, there is some evidence of 25-year old grease having been flung off inside the (lower) advance-weight portion of the distributor also, there is a foam pad inside the shaft below the ignition rotor that is dry as a bone that seems like it is supposed to be oiled to provide lubrication to the inner/outer distributor shafts advice on any or all of the above please? as an interesting aside, there is only 1 advance weight return spring - spring stiffness and qty is one of the various spark advance variables/adjustments, just curious if one spring is typical on the PRV thanks, Cliff To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
