When mounting distributors for tests, first secure the
gear in the test drive mechanism, then push the distrib­
utor housing downward toward the gear to take up any end
play between the gear and the housing.
NOTE:
When testing distributors that have their
lower shaft support bushing located in the engine
block
( 6
cylinder engines, a special adapter
should be used to insure the shaft will run true
in its housing.
Test the distributor for variation of spark, correct
centrifugal and vacuum advance and condition of contacts.
This test will give valuable information on distributor
condition and indicate parts replacement which may be
necessary. Check the area on the breaker plate just be­
neath the contact points. A smudgy line indicates that oil
or crankcase vapors have been present between the
points.
