I tear down a Bosch distributor, clean it up and re-assemble. I cover off on important points along the way & show in detail how the centrifugal advance works.
Great video. I have an HQ Holden that was passed to me from my father and I want to keep it going to one day give it to my Son. The amount of detail on here will allow us to work on it with advice from someone who really knows their stuff. Please don’t ever take these down as they are a brilliant reference source!!
Thank-you for your kind words. U-tube videos is only a fraction of what I have available as useful resources. My website has many written articles without video also, just text. Go to www.MBS.id.au to view all I have available. Cheers
Love the detailed rebuild mate, I noticed on mine that when looking at the gear the pin hole looks different from one side to the other, are they ment to go on a certain way? One side pin hole is more over the valley between two cogs Cheers
I know what you mean. The pin hole in the shaft is centred as it is in the gear, so the gear can go on either way. If it was not centred you would not be able to drive the pin through if the gear was on 180 out. Some other makes of dizzies they are offset & only go one way. Sometimes it is better to mark its position before removing it so it goes back exactly as before. Lets say the gear is fitted 180 out, then all that happens is the distributor body will sit a few degrees out of normal position to get the timing correct. This is not noticeable. If you are concerned about it, drive the pin out & turn the gear 180 & drive the pin back in, it should go in as easy as it did in the other position, so it makes no difference as far as fitting goes, just the few degrees of alignment that is adjusted out in the timing anyway.
@@mbsoldschool thanks mate for the reply! I did mark it but I know the previose owner had it apart before me getting the engine so wanted to check if there was a correct orientation, a weeks time i get the block back fully rebuilt so I've been cleaning and checking the dizzy and sorting the tripples throttle linkage so hopefully smooth sailing. Again thanks for making this good vid man
@@mbsoldschoolthanks to your tutorials mate I finally got me old girl running After 30 min run in I let her cool down then started her up and ran the idle down Still yet to balance and set mixture better on the tripples (end of vid idle) Rocker geometry required shorter pushrods whick I would never had checked if it wasn't for you Thanks from nz mate ruclips.net/video/5e4Qs1bqxZw/видео.htmlsi=R5ZQW74wlRWFgDZn
