    Matchbox rebuild

    ddrum replied to ddrum's topic in Electrical

    That's awesome! I hope its just adjustment! It was running fine around 7 years ago, then it just sat in a parts stash. Datzenmike, how does one adjust it?

    Hello, I just finished the process of converting my 1972 510 into electronic ignition. The car starts and runs just fine, but I noticed a tapping sound that came from the distributor itself. Turns out the teeth dont line up evenly. Does anyone know if these are still rebuildable? And if they are what parts would I need to aling the teeth in the center? Thank you, Erick

    So I followed Datzenmikes advice and it seems to work! Time will tell. Here is a picture of what I was talking about being off center. In the following picture you can see i elongated the hole to correct for the offset of the distributor collar for the pin to go through the matchbox distributor

    Awesome, a 72 four door auto just like mine!! Thanks for sharing, and what a great history you must have with the car! Erick

    Mine is a floor shift yenpit

    Yes, that is exactly what needs to be done in order to make the pin go through
  9. ddrum
    Hmm that might just work, ill give that a try!

    It's not centered, only by a bit but enough so the pin wont go all the way through, but on the points, its perfectly centered. Its really bizarre! I don't have any pictures right now, ill try taking some tomorrow morning, but I tried installing the collar onto the matchbox and it fit, but the hole never lines up no matter how its put in (that's what she said).
  11. ddrum
    Yes, it is different from the pedestal

    Ill try and post it again. Well my original question was to know if I really need it, since it broke off the matchbox which im trying to install on my 510.

    Its the bottom collar and pin Hainz

    Thank you so much Datzenmike, I tried installing the original L16 dual points Dizzy collar on it, but the collar pin goes in offset on the L16 and wont aling with the matchbox. Erick

    I have a question, I have a spare matchbox distributor from a old truck that i got into an accident with, the potential problem is that is base got broken. My question being, can I run it like this on an L16?
