Just running down the things I find, whether mixture or ignition related. Dead yellow relay, though oddly the new one does not click either w 12 applied across 86/85. Does anyone know the test procedure for this relay? I have applied +12v to 86, neg at 85. With all other relays in my experience, this produces an audible click when the relay contacts close. I know there is a diode wired in somewhere which would make it polarity sensitive.
Plugs sooty but not horrible and clean up easily, gaps all the same, haven't been able to pull the drivers side plugs. They are OE spec W3DP0 Bosch. I have checked the continuity of the green wire between the 6 pin plug and the distributor per the WSM and it tests ok. The internal coil in the distributor has a resistance of 596 Ohms. Spec is 490 to 700 Ohms. I have applied vacuum to the forward facing (away from the Dist) port and pressure to the rearward facing (towards the distributor) and have seen zero movement.
Update midpost! I just removed the vaccum canister and it is now obvious why there is no movement when vacuum/pressure is applied, the arm is rusted solid to the canister housing. Anyone know where I can find a working vacuum canister for an 045 distributor??
Thanks for all the input.I would be nowhere without it. As far as a fuel pressure or wide band oxygen/AFR gauge in the cockpit, no. Its stock and I don't wish to modify it, it's too nice. Perhaps there is something i could hookup temporarily without modifying anything, open to suggestions on that.
I am tempted to perform the "clean and lube distributor service" as detailed in a long post by Gunter.
I have removed the distributor and have a rebuild kit from ************ here. I am hesitant to send my distributor away for 5-7 weeks to have it professionally done. I now know I need a vacuum canister, will probably remove the pulse generator and examine the mechanical advance bits, given the condition of the canister, I'm expecting rust there as well.
