Distributor mystery

Hi Nick

I can only think that someone in the past has welded up the weights so as to use it on a manually adjusted system. Nothing to do with the car's electrics.

Some rotor arms have a suppressor resistor between centre and tip. This component is sometimes encased in the insulation or under "potting compound". They should read roughly 5000 ohms. If it shows open circuit, throw it away and replace it with a good quality new one.
