it's an old problem, it has been doing it for over a month and that is with driving it to work a couple of times (30 miles 1 way) and driving it to conway for a show (250 round trip). runs great just hear that squeky noise at idle.
it has no side to side play but it does have a bit up and down movement i'd say about as much play as my rockers after being adjusted, just enough to notice.
no sign of wear on the contact points just on the side of the cap. around #2. i haven't started him up in 2 weeks and he fired right up last night though.
the only reason why i suspect it is the distributor is because of the gouge in the side of the cap and you can feel it tapping when you put your hand on that area of the cap when it is running. what else could i be hearing? it is comming from something external because you can't hear it when the decklid is shut but you open the deck lid and can hear something comming from top side and by dwindeling down the areas i keep comming back to the distributor. i have jiggled the fan shroud to make sure it wasn't it, checked tension on the belt, cranked it for a moment with no belt to make sure it wasn't the gennerator (only for like a second guys, not long enough to do damage), regardless of what i do i can hear it and it is comming from top side.

You know it has that notch in it. Are you possibly pinching the condensor wire keeping the cap from sitting flush? Are both cap clamps snug? Positive the rotor is seated all the way down?-----Original Message----- From: i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 12:52 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: squeky squeky squekywell the cap hasn't cracked yet but i can clearly see a gouge where it is hitting>From: Will Wood <evilscientistboo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [tcb] Re: squeky squeky squeky >Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 12:48:11 -0600 (GMT-06:00) > >Lube the shaft.. > >At the top of your distributor rotor shaft you have a felt pad put someoil >on it.
