Help
My distributor keeps eating rotors. It’s keeps breaking the tang that makes contact with the individual spark post. It is a 1112396 dizzy in a 57 3100 with a Th350 tranny.
I’ve put two rotors in with two new caps and when removing the dizzy from the truck and spinning it you can hear and feel the tang hitting inside the cap. The cap doesn’t seem to fit as well with the rotor in it as well as it dose with out the rotor in it. Napa has verifies it is the right cap and rotor. There doesn’t seem to be much play in the shaft the rotor sits on.
My next option is to replace the dizzy which I’m considering with a 1112403 which I understand is a direct replacement.
Ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
