The second distributor the dwell went out of adjustment in the first two months, so they just gave me a new one. Now the third distributor does the same as second. It will not stay timed. I have been told that one of the big problems with this new distributors come with a set of points that have a plastic rub bar or point, whatever they call it, unlike the old points that had a rub point made of a tuff fiber material. Last week the dwell was at 40 degrees, not running well. The specs for this engine is 28 to 32 degrees. we set it at 30 degrees and it is already starting to backfire on occasion and miss a little. I think I also, need to fine a better made set of points like the old ones, if possible.

I just took a new radiator for my Mustang to a radiator shop because it was leaking along the seam where the top tank is soldered. It was 30 days past the 1 year warranty. Made in China, as usual.
The fuel pump on my AD truck was assembled incorrectly at the slave labor camp so that only a 1/16" wide portion of the lever arm was contacting the cam instead of the entire 1/4" width of the arm.
I just sent my original pump to be rebuilt by Then and Now Automotive. Should have done that in the first place.
I hope Cardone does a good job for you on the rebuild of your dizzy.
