For the modest price Tom charged for the unit I would/did not expect him to change out the module and pickup.
That is why I kept a spare module on the shelf, hadn’t thought about keeping an extra pickup. BTW: The vacuum advance did look brand new when it came, still does.
I will say my spark is way more stable on the timing light/flywheel than my old points distributor, and with the more powerful spark and wider plug gap the system allows, the truck runs much better.
JW51: It was from the pickup disintegrating, just looked like dirt.
Jerry, I saw you mention in a different post last week about relocating the d-1959 out of the distributor, and briefly considered what that might entail, my thought was locate near the square coil (on the inner fender) so the wires from dist to square coil would be reused, a weatherproof container/heat sink would be in order. Since I use the truck 1st order was to get back up and running, I like to work on 1 thing at a time so I limit chasing issues.
With the junk most parts store sell as wire and terminals I would look to source appropriate quality before considering. In the cab would eliminate the weather issue…
