OK then techy time! Your Editor needs a hand!
The V8 is fitted with a Mallory Dual Point Distributor.
I have very little documentation with it.
I know it is internally adjustable for advance and have the instuctions for that. Take a few bits out and poke around and bend things by the look of it
At present it is set at 24 degress at 3200rpm according to the literature.
What I need to know is:
1. Where can I get replacement caps, points & rotor at a decent price - Real Steel is dear!
2. Stupid one this - although it is running OK what is the correct point gap, I have it set at 0.22 inch on each set of points at the moment.
3. It will eventually be set up on dwell so what dwell figure should I use?
Someone out there must know some thing about these distributors or a good web site with figures for a mildly tuned (cam, rhodes lifters, balanced) ROVER V8.
Thanks
Pete
