Probably a dumb question, but that's what I'm all about. Here we go.
I've been fighting this old cast iron distributor on my B20 for like four months now. The points are all worn out, and because there's no identifying numbers or a plate of any kind, I can't figure out what model it is. I've bought every possible combination of points, and they just don't fit.
I really don't want to run my Titanic-spec distributor with wasted points, so I'm just buying a new production Bosch 009, which I think is what it's supposed to be.
The trouble is, I can't find anyone that makes or sells the little collar that mounts the distributor to the block, the thing with the little bolt that allows you to loosen up the shaft and manually advance or retard timing. I tried prying my old one off, but it appears to have terminal rust. I tried PB blaster and brake fluid. It's not moving.
Does anyone know where I can find one of these collars?
