Trying to be to perfect in cleaning and cleaned the distributor before installing. Had the air compressor nozzle too close passing by the vacuum advance and literally blew the vacuum advance control. Heard a pop like popping a balloon only a bit softer. It was an old rusty advance control and the previous owner had welded a longer arm on there for the duraspark condenser.
I also saw traces of spray paint on the membrane after I removed the advance control from the distributor. Maybe I would have needed a new one anyway? This was an old one but still had "motorcraft" on it.
Is it repairable? what kind of material is the membrane?
anybody have an old one somewhere I should I just by a new one. What brand is the best?
thanks, regards
Ron
