I have been having trouble with my 1974 504 distributors.
I have tracked down the problem being the little clear plastic/nylon insulating washer where the spring part of the points attaches to the metal base, was/is not seating properly. There has been some discussion re the type of distributor.
the book says that it is not a Bosch type but the other type whose name escapes me at the moment.
However, a bloke I know said that it looks like a Bosch distributor.
Is there any identifying marks that will show what brand it is. (it is still in the car so it could verywell have the name somewhere that I cannot see.)
Could someone have fitted the wrong set of points?
When I shoved the nylon washer back in place the car starts first kick and runs perfectly. when it dislodges it will not start.
Is there an "electronic" Pointless distributor available for this motor"
Im pretty new at Peugeots.
I have photos but I cant work out if I can upload them.
