Re: MSD dizzy cap problems

Thanks Ron, went on a search after I posted and found complaints about the caps.
This is a problem that MSD has known about this for awhile. I'm going to try to get in
touch with MSD tomorrow.
I'll let you know what I find out.

MSD dizzy cap problems

Just wondering if any one has had problems with MSD 6al dist caps.
With 600 miles on mine I had funny ign misses showing up.
Found the carbon button in the dist cap wore down!
$40 dizzy cap every 600 miles is strange!
Thanks!

Re: Steering Geometry and Squeak Question

Just went to the P Thunder site. Bummer, I was looking at his strut rods to kill the rubber binding.
The owner was great to work with! I'll check again this winter.

Re: Steering Geometry and Squeak Question

I think the lower control will bind with more castor.
I used a adjustable LCA that gives camber and castor adjustment.
Pacific Thunder? Has a Heim threaded joint.
