223 distributor
I was under the impression that the distributor had to be removed from a 223 in order to install a new wire from the coil to points.
I have a spare 223 sitting in the garage, so I attempted on it. All went well, with distributor still in place. Unless I’m missing something, and there is a special passage under the plate where the wire must pass.?.?
Anyways, I pulled the original coil to points wire off the distributor(eyelet on points end was removed). Put heat shrink tubing over the existing woven wire wrap, making sure it cooled in about the same formation as original. Snaked the wire around the distributor pretty easily. Then I could attach a new eyelet for attachment to the points.
I realize it is easier to do with an engine on the stand than in the truck, but am I missing something???Didnt seam that difficult.
