2011 - January - Reconditioning a Distributor

I wanted to recondition a 635B distributor for my spares under the seat, and the simple process involved the following:

1. A full strip down
2. Cleaned all parts thoroughly
3. Checked for excessive wear between the inner shaft and the housing and if so
4. Pick a better combination from spares
5. Remove any inner rust
6. Check cam for wear
7. Select a good drive gear for the bottom of the distributor
8. Reassemble, ensuring minimal play up and down on the shaft
9. Replace points
10. Replace insulators
