DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTION

[neil4030]

Whilst replacing the points yesterday, I noticed that the orange wire connecting the points to the incoming blue wire from the coil is very loose. To be more specific, this is the connection point between the orange wire from the points to a little block affair on the inside of the distributor. This appears to be a sealed unit so whilst I 'have the skills' to make a new connection, I cannot see how to do it! I am a bit 'scared' to just pull on the wire to see if it is a simple pull-out connection in case it isn't and it just snaps off. Any help would be very welcome.

Just buy a new one ! Don't fiddle with that one - although obviously it can be repaired.

Thanks. Do you mean buy a new distributor and if so; are they an easy fit? Never done one before...

No! Although that is an option... Just a new connector wire http://www.minispares.com/product/Class ... %20to%20se

Do you mean the orange wire from the points to the condenser?
There should be a white/black wire from the coil to distributor, the only blue wire should be from the light switch to the dip switch

I was ignoring the dodgey wire colours........obviously not right!

Fantastic, thanks for the link showing exactly the part I need. I have ordered it, only a tenner with postage. Thanks again.
