Wheelmang Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The attached picture is of the distributor on my 1926 DB. The wire coming off the distributor was in rough shape when I rebuilt the water pump so I went ahead and made a new one. Now that I am reinstalling the distributor I am wondering why I made a new one. Cannot figure out what it is for or why the PO may have put it there. Additional ground maybe? Any ideas anyone? Thanks for looking and commenting. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I think there's a gap in your thinking, not to be short, but the show circuit probably will allow you to conduct yourself in such a way that the end result isn't terminal..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
