Distributor O-ring Spec

Post by opus10583 »

Hi,

I forgot to order an o-ring for an electronic distributor, thinking I should be able to source locally: Does anyone have the specs?

...Can I use the regular gasket as a stop-gap?

Thanks,
Mark

The one that came with my gasket kit was to big so I got something way smaller but beefier from Home Depot and it was not easy to get the thing installed. Seems to be working, its seal.

That should seal it but it would probably bake on and you could not change the timing later.
