What started as cap and rotor ended up full take apart. The advance mechanism was not frozen but damped by old grease. The heat sink compound had turned to something else and mostly vanished. I flushed the wick and used Synpower to saturate it. Is that correct or is engine oil better? The protective yellow wrapping on the pickup coil is now dust. I will pick up a new pickup tomorrow hopefully. I found written inside the body in red marker OP or perhaps DP? How does Dick Patterson mark his work? Last thing I noticed the vac pot seems to be at a slight upward angle as it gets away from the body. Is this how they are or is it bent? Keep in mind coach ran fine but want to prevent preventable breakdowns. I figure if the module lasted almost dry it should be fine with fresh heat sink compound.
