[T3] "71 Distributor

[Jim Adney]

Art,

Your distributor is finished. Here's your total:

1	rebuild 311 AB distributor		$50

1	point's plate spring clip			$15

1	044 points						$8

	return shipping					$20

		subtotal			$93

	PayPal surcharge			$3

		Total			$96

The PayPal surcharge is to partly cover the fees PayPal charges me. Feel 
free to mail me a check if you prefer to avoid that cost.

The spring clip is small, but it's expensive because I can't buy that part 
separately; I have to rob another assy. to get one. I replaced your ign points 
because I think the set in there was the wrong one, with too much spring 
tension, which would cause excessibve wear to the cam and rubbing block. 
I'm returning your old points, which appear to be new, but I recommend that 
you not use them. (They would be good for someone running carbs at VERY 
high RPM.)

You should put 1 drop of oil in the center of the shaft once a year. You 
should clean off the ign cam and add a smear of grease each time you set 
the timing. Doing those things will keep this distributor running for a very 
long time.

thanks,
