Distributor Question and Help Needed

Unread post by Rookie » June 14th, 2010, 4:22 pm

Guys:

What is needed to replace the capacitor on a M151A1?

I have also read where it is called the "input" capacitor...Which is the correct name for this part?

Bubba got to my distributor, and modified the end of the capacitor, and I want to replace just that piece. There are four retaining screws, on the small square retention facing. I want to replace the part that the harness screws in - to. Is it as simple as removing those 4 screws, and replacing?

I have not yet taken it apart, and wanted to check in here first, before I dig in to the distributor and order the right parts that are needed.

Any advise is appreciated

Thanks!

Yup, it comes right off, also comes with the input (+) side wire from the coil.

Bingo...That's what I needed...Perfecto - Thanks! :D

I am guessing the black wire attaches inside - Below the rotor? Just follow it in?

Is that part number, by chance, - 1394963 -, Is it printed on the part anywhere?

Thanks again!
