| Date: | 26 Nov 96 06:45:27 PST |
My '80 Westi has a flat spot in the acceleration at about 30 mph in second gear (CA engine with Hall effect distributor). I don't have a tach to check what the RPM is. I'm thinking that the distributor needs to be *cleaned* and *lubed*, can't hurt to do it. My last distributor job didn't go very well and ended up at the shop for fix fixing. Any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated. How far to dismantle? What to clean with? What to lube with and how? Other things to check, watch out for? This dist came from the brown CA bus, and is now installed into my beige bus along with the other stuff to make it a CA engine. If other parts from the brown bus is an indication, the distributor is original, has 200K on it and probably has not been maintained. - Jeff (2) '80 Westi's
