FE Technical Forum / msd distrubitor question
« on: May 31, 2023, 01:57:14 AM »
i fired my 428 up after sitting for 9 months. next time i tried to start it,it would not fire up.the rotor button had a hole burned in the center medal piece,the ball in the inside top center of the cap looked melted and the mech advance springs were rusted,condensation i guess.i pulled the cap and wires off without paying attention to where they were on the cap.i spun the motor over and found top dead but problem is it looks like the rotor is pointing between two plug wires but it is closer to the one to the left side of the pointer.i did not pull the distributor and it was running great.i ordered a new cap and rotor but i wanted to make sure and wire it back right.why is pointer not looking like its pointing directly at wire?
