Distributor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECT
1. Distributor cap for cracks or tiny holes. Replace the cap if it is damaged or worn.
2. Metal terminals in the distributor cap for corrosion. Scrape them clean with a knife or replace the cap.
3. Rotor for wear or burning at the outer terminal. The presence of carbon on the terminal indicates rotor wear and the need for replacement.
4. Distributor shaft for shaft-to-bushing looseness. Insert the shaft in the distributor housing. If the shaft wobbles, replace the distributor housing and/or shaft.
5. Distributor housing for cracks or damage.
