I thought i read somewhere that this is not good, but i cant remember what exactly it said. There is red dust all inside the distributor cap basically, can anyone fill me in?


TIA

Maybe the contact points are completely worn and that the dust if from them?? Maybe water getting in and rusting something?

 

could be copper from the windings in the coil... not a good sign

 

Usually the upper bearing crapping out. If you look closer you'll probably see bits of metal on the sensors.

 

looks like the bearing is going, keep an eye on it

 

Thanks guys...looks like i need to add a new distributor to the list too!

Yup bearing is going south.

You can change the bearing...unless you want to pay ~200 bucks(For a complete distributor)....compare to ~10$(For the bearing)

You should check for that site how to rebuilt your distributor.Just be careful with those 3 Torx bolt.You'll have to use some torch...to get them out without breaking them in the casing.
