Part #1162A, Delco 6cyl with Vacc. Adv. Fit fine, it's so well designed that when you drop the distributor back in, to the exact same orientation, the timing will be the same. It's easy in the AMerican too, since the yellow wire to COIL + is straight battery, there's no resistor wire or ballast resistor. -- Frank Swygert Publisher, "American Motors Cars" Magazine (AMC) For all AMC enthusiasts http://farna.home.att.net/AMC.html (free download available!) _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://splatter.wps.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
