Distributor 0 Ring Leak Fix- Alternator


ejs

Recommended Posts

I knew I had an oil leak from somewhere and deferred maintenance finally diagnosed the problem. Battery wouldn't charge, light only came on at low rpm but I don't think it was ever charging. Needed to rebuild alternator and it became clear it was because of oil leak from distributor. Common reported problem on this forum.

I know a few of you replaced the O ring on the distrbutor, take it out and I assume slide new one on and put disttributor back in same place. Any other tips other than first looking inside the cap to see if there is any oil requiring replacement of cap and rotor?
