I am upgrading my spare late model engine to use Petronix instead of
points.
I tried to install the magnetic ring using a 9/16 socket and small hammer
as suggested in the Moyer instruction sheet. I could not get the
ring to seat without considerable force. This resulted in the ring
cracking.
The ring was installed correctly oriented on 1 of 4 flats and proper side
up.
There is little evidence of corrosion on the distributor shaft.
Has any else had difficulty installing this ring?
Just now received a email from Don Moyer he suggested using
a hair dryer to heat the ring when installing.
How much heat is enough?
Would appreciate comments from others who have experienced
similar issues installing the ring.
Best Regards
