I agree. And worse yet, (possibly) is the old Gowesty vacuum actuated switch. I haven't bothered to try and prove my theory but it may not be a reliable design. But I digress.....

Do you think the ABA hybrid will have enough torque where you need it in the Syncro?

Regardless, here's hoping the cap has fixed your WBX issue.
