I recently had my DM2 distributor out of a MGA 1600 with a three main
1800 engine and encountered two problems.
1. When the points were adjuster to the farthest open setting, the cam
would still not open them. I had experience intermittent lack of power
on acceleration under load.
2. I replaced the distributor with another used one. When I set the
engine at TDC to static time the "new" distributor (DM2), the rotor
points 180 degrees away from the #1 wire. The distributor drops in OK.
Of course the engine does nor start. there is the occasional backfire
and rifle out out the tail pipe. I even dropped in a spare 25D
distributor and it also points away from #1.
What is going on?
