How to overhaul the distributor in 1.5L engine on Dodge Colt?

To rebuild it for 1.5 L engine, first thread the distributor lightly into a vise with soft cheek. Take out the retaining clips followed by the removal of the distributor cap and the seal ring. Remove the rotor from the rotor shaft and remove two screws of vacuum controller. Disconnect the link of the controller and pull the pin on the breaker base; subsequently the vacuum controller can be taken out. Next, clean the igniter and the black lead wire and take them out from the appliance. You need to unscrew the screw that holds the signal rotor shaft in place and two screws of the breaker plate so as to take off the signal rotor shaft and the breaker plate assembly. Divide the signal rotor shaft from the signal rotor, and take out the two spring retainers and the two governor springs by pliers and, then, remove the two governor weights. Locate the position of the drive gear on the distributor shaft taking special attention not to take it off the wooden block to remove the roll pin using a pin punch. Then before driving housing in, it is necessary to discharge distributor shaft and extract it out of the housing after removing the drive gear and washer from it. To assemble, the distributor shaft should be fitted back into the housing and then the drive gear should be fitted on the shaft at the position indicated by the mark and new roll pin fitted. Replace the governor weights, the governor springs, the spring retainer and then reinsert the signal rotor shaft through the distributor shaft. Insert the breaker plate in a proper manner such that projection 'A' fits into groove 'B' and fasten the retaining screws. Bolt the signal rotor to the rotor shaft with the dowel pin inserted into the groove. Unscrew the igniter and then reinsert the lead wire through the terminal end and screw it back on the igniter attaching screw and the other end should be placed in the breaker plate. Set the air gap between the signal rotor and the igniter pick-up to the said measurement utilizing a flat feeler gauge slid and screw the igniter into its proper position. Last but not the least, solder the vacuum control link on the breaker plate and tighten the two screws of the vacuum controller after that re-install the rotor, seal ring, and the distributor cap.

Dodge Distributor strikes match-book speed timed sparks, converting hoarded fuel energy into impetus. Dodge started in a no-nonsense garage and in 1914 they introduced the first series of mass-produced all-steel car bodies that bumped off potholes, dust, and freezing winters. Dodge was able to keep the rough spirit of Dodge alive by fitting the powerplants of the street cars with the HEMI motors and as the car was handed over to ordinary drivers, the grin would be bestowed upon them as is commonly experienced only at the racetrack. It continues to despise silence so its Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust produces a crowd-pleasing roar on its speakers and sound boxes but switches to silence mode when its neighbors seek privacy. Dodge styling remains rude and broad, indicating that the brand prefers to burn rubber, do donuts, laugh at boring commuter chores, and make every weekday commute an act of rebellion. The channels of Distributor transfer high voltage in the coil to each plug precisely when that cylinder requires fire. Breaker points and advance weights were once applied by Distributor, however, solid-state triggers are cleaner and faster now. Distributor carries centrifugal and vacuum advance equipment that varies timing with rising revs and decreasing manifold pressure, and smooths power through the band. Distributor upgrade kits replace wobbling shafts and scalded contacts with more robust internals that reduce the rate of misfires and service life. Such ignition adjustments translate to quicker starts, quicker throttle reactions, higher economy, and time wasted under the hood.

Unscrew the igniter and then reinsert the lead wire through the terminal end and screw it back on the igniter attaching screw and the other end should be placed in the breaker plate. Set the air gap between the signal rotor and the igniter pick-up to the said measurement utilizing a flat feeler gauge slid and screw the igniter into its proper position. Last but not the least, solder the vacuum control link on the breaker plate and tighten the two screws of the vacuum controller after that re-install the rotor, seal ring, and the distributor cap.
