64 SPLIT 0 Posted October 14, 2005 If theres oil in the dizzy cap then it'll be the dizzy drive shaft oil seal thats gone. Its an easy fix - just accurately mark the position of the dizzy with a scribe etc. undo the two retaining bolts on either side, disconnect the hall effect sender wire and out it comes. Marking its position helps when you come to reinstall so you don't have issues with the timing being out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted October 14, 2005 2 seals in the dizzy - the external one is an easy fix (as explained above). AFAIK - the internal one means a new dizzy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevemac 0 Posted October 14, 2005 There's 2 seals in the distributor - one to seal the whole thing into the crankcase & one to seal the rotor drive shaft, inside the distributor. If you have oil inside the distributor, I suspect it may be knackered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
