So, sent my distributor off to my rebuilder. He started work on it last night and noticed two issues right off the bat. A ground wire is missing between the breaker plate and distributor housing, and the mechanical advance stop bushing is gone.
I was having detonation issues at WOT, as well as the erratic idle/stalling I mentioned earlier.
He’s eliminating the Pertronix and going back to breaker points for me.
His pictures aren’t the greatest, but figured I’d post them.
