Re: [FWDLK] Continuously breaking rotor

[David Homstad <dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

 

Possible causes:

1. Maybe the snap ring holding the cam/plate is missing, allowing the cam to rise and push up the rotor. The snap ring is under the fiber wick that is under the rotor, inside the ID of the shaft.
2. Incorrect distributor cap or rotor, causing interference.
3. Insufficient shim washers at the collar on the bottom of the shaft, allowing excess end play.
4. Weak center contact spring in the distributor cap allowing the rotor to rise.

My brothers ’57 Canadian Dodge (with 313cid) has a rotor that keeps breaking in the distributor.

We just can’t figure out what is happening. There is no free play on the axle, but it does lift a little upwards, when pulled.

Anybody any idea??

Much appreciated !!
