    I might have to scavenge some of that wiring, my electric fan quit working (car overheats if it idles too long), but the fan still works if you juice it direct from the battery, so the wiring that's supposed to supply 12v switched power (and is spliced into the ignition circuit) has failed. The multimeter says it's only giving 2 to 3 v so it'll have to be replaced from splice to fan.

      ...and here's some electrical goodness for you all. That's the inner workings of an original Lucas 25D distributor...
      Wow, the condensor is inside the distributor body! That's nice and compact; I'm used to seeing it hanging off the outside of the dizzy.
      “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
      One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
      The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

        I'm used to seeing the condenser in front of the radiator.

          I've never seen one like that But, the distributor has to be somewhat compact--it's a tight squeeze against the engine. While you can set the points gap with the dizzy still on the car, it's a bit of a pain. I usually remove it--with the screwdriver, gapping tool, etc. in place, there's just not enough light
