Thread: Distributor Arcing

Tweet

can you separate the 3 wires R,Y,B put some daylight between them. Try to keep the R&Y from touching the metal, slide a piece of electrical tape in there. Looks nasty, burned and un happy. See if that helps, I assume the arcing you speak of is happening there, dielectric grease is a conductor. Just somethings to check.

That picture I originally posted was the wires of the old coil, so when I replaced the coil along came with it new, clean wires, and I bent them so they're a maximum distance away from each other. Hmm I always thought dielectric grease was an insulating, non-conductive silicone grease. I'll try some electrical tape in there as well.
