HITACHI Electronic Ignition: Overhaul: Reassembly

  1. Install centrifugal advance weights and 2 washers on shaft. Grease shaft and install in housing. Put 2 washers and gear on lower end of shaft. Line up holes in gear shoulder with hole in shaft and drive in new roll pin.
  2. Rotate gear until mark on gear shoulder lines up with mark on housing. Hold gear in line with mark and install rotor shaft on top of main shaft. Flat surface should face vacuum advance side of housing.
  3. Be sure holes in rotor shaft arms fit over pins in centrifugal advance weights. Install screw with lock washer in top of shaft.
  4. Align breaker plate in distributor housing. See Fig 1. Check that upper plate moves freely. Be sure diaphragm arm attachment hole or pin does not rotate past end of slot in lower plate.
  5. If such condition exists, adjust range of free travel by forcibly rotating plate past its limit in opposite direction. Recheck hole and pin positions.
  6. When installing reluctor, drive roll pin in place with its gap away from distributor shaft. Check reluctor-to-stator air gap and rotor-to-terminal surfaces. Install diaphragm assembly.
