I recently replaced the alternator on my 93 Max -- long story but in the end I had to stand outside the dealership with the service manager and have him listen to the engine -- he could then hear the whine and rumble coming from the alternator.
He then pointed out to me a very faint, light rumble coming from the top of the engine -- he said it was the worn bushings on the distributor. The car has 170,000 miles on it. I asked if we should not also replace the distributor -- he said, no, not on a car with this much mileage. Anyone else familiar with this condition? Should I replace the dizzy?
How difficult is it to replace? I am an old VW Beetle man -- have rebuilt several of them and a distro replacement on the Beetle is a piece of cake, can do it in my sleep. How much more difficult is it to replace the distro on the Max? Unplug the wires, pull it out, stick in the new one -- make certain it's lined up with whatever timing marks are there -- bolt it down, reconnect the wires and that's it -- right?
