i just replaced my cap and rotor, and now i hear a clicking sound. sounds like its coming from the distributor. i kindof freaked out at first because it sounded like a rod nock!!! but it has to be related to the distributor. any help or ideas as to what it could be?
Screw is not on the rotor?
no i made sure the screw was tight. ill let the car sit overnight and see how it runs in the morning. it might just be a loose sparkplug wire or somthing. ormabe its a little out of timing
Check your dust shield on the distributor. I had this same problem it sound just like rod knock. It’s safe to run with out it tho.
Also check the rotor to cap clearance. Some manufacturer’s specs aren’t exactly correct and the rotor will hit the cap contacts
