Thread: Distributor

The distributor is points style with H.E.I. conversion kit. What it's doing when rev engine up the distributor is advancing and staying advanced. Will not return. This problem causing engine run hot. And when you pull up to light R.P.M. were up. Found problem today with nephew was holding light on tab. Also explains ignition breaking up at higher R.P.M. . Problems been pain in a## lately. Fix one find another.

Is the advance plate sticking? Is your vacuum advance hooked up to the ported nipple on the carb? Maybe the springs on the plate are weak or broken.

Are you sure its hooked up to the correct ported vacuum ? There not all the same.

Yes i'm sure it's hooked to ported. Off metering block. It's Holley 750 vacuum secondary 3310-4. Looks like time for new H.E.I. distributor. Pull old one out looks like seen better days.

I had a car that ran erratically one time and finally changed out the distributor, it cured the problem. Found out the bushings were worn allowing the shaft to wobble. Maybe you are right, it might be time for a new one.
