I brought out my 'z' for the first time since the pandemic,Fired up fine,washed/waxed him and took for a slow drive around the neighborhood,and pop.pop.died-no spark.I hoofed it home and grabbed a set of tools and parts-swapped the condenser all fine,The points and condenser were 20+ years old. Dist hasn't been out at least since the,so I pulled it and dropped in a spare so I can play with the original.Questions are in regards to inside parts. Middle shaft.cam piece, vac advance.Distributor is original,date code 1 f 24 date [11d build] I also have very early removed 1 L 13 distributor I've had for 30+ years I remember a million years ago a thread on lt-1 dist parts [Mr RS Z28 days} but cant' find anything on search other than swap meet listings for $500-$1000 -REALLY RIGHT! any way below are what part#'s I could find on both niether have same so here goe.
-----------------------------------------------1F 24-----------------------1L13
Vac Can ------------------------------------459 10--------------------- 437 15
Middle shaft---------------------------------210W----------------------786W
Cam lobe piece[trips points]------------532CCW------------------- 724 CCW
I believe from early 80's auto shop the 10 + 15 on vac cans is/are degrees of advance The 1 L 13 has the original weights and springs,the 1F 24 has transdapt weights and 1 heavy and 1 light spring [was that way when I bought in '93] both may have been messed with I see the 1F24 has the pigtail "plugged" in upside down I know they go in from inside out so some one groped with it in the past other than weights.
I'd like to see which numbers if any of the internals are correct and maybe send it off for curving-no one here does this anymore.
GOOGLE is no longer my friend,all I get are ads ads ads for any inquiry I make on anything no information! Thanks in advance Nasty Bros-Later Steve!
