If i just replace the cap and router do I have to pay any attention to timing, etc? I should only have to line up the two caps, put the plugs on the indentical spots on the new one and slide the rotor on right?

I want to try a new cap and rotor with new plugs and wires before I attempt a point/dwell/gap/timing,etc... I've been trying to resolve a hole shot bogging problem (some of you may have seen) and I'm down to carb and ignition...

My RPM's are good.


Thanks,

E

Howdy,


Changing the cap and rotor will not change the timing unless the dist is loose and you move it.

Thanks! I figured that it was pretty much 'plug and play' but it
Doesn't hurt to ask...
