My cap wiggles a bit too =
but
seems to snap back to the original position. I will go out on a limb and =
say it
is not consequential as long as the base stays solid. There is where the
relative timing is generated. The metal end of the rotor is a fairly =
wide
arch. It has to be to reach the inside contact of the cap as =
timing
advances (almost forty degrees as RPMs go up). Hence the relative =
position
where the spark jumps off the rotor has to change also. Just
my theory.
Here I am again asking a question:
After an engine install, I'm working on =
timing
and note that
the distributor cap seems to have a lot =
of slop
in its fit
to the body--both side-to-side and
rotationally.
A light twist to it could easily move =
the timing
5 degrees,even
with the bails snapped on.
Normal? Could somebody check their=
2.1L cap
part number
(it's right on top) and see if maybe the=
new one
I have is
wrong?
Thanks in advance once again,
