[Mg-t] TD Generator Failure Cause...

[Charles Hill]

Scott,
What is broken on your generator?  If it is only the bearing, a local 
electrical shop should be able to do the job.  Joe Curto mentioned on 
the TABC list that he had some TC armatures available.  You might check 
with him if that is what you need( www.joecurto.com).  He normally only 
does carbs but comes across other stuff from time to time.  Otherwise, I 
don't have any suggestions.

And on your distributor, I haven't used them yet, but I've heard glowing 
reviews about Advanced Distributors (http://www.advanceddistributors.com/ )

Regards,
Charles Hill
