Distributor Questions

May 27, 2004 2 Replies

Having recently purchased a new Kadron throttle body cum vacume advance port (from Aircooled.net, FSK0053), I am looking through my collection of distributors. So, here is this 311 905 205M (from a mess of type-3 stuff I acquired).

is a type-3 FI unit for a 69-70 1600 automatic. Everything seems functional, including the vacume advance canister. Using a vacume gauge, I've determined that maximum canister movement is reached at around



8.5 inches of vacume. So it has possibilities.

I wish to disassemble this distributor and give everything a good clean & lube.



First question: How does one remove this pin so that the rotating assembly can be removed?

The 3 pin connector on the lower half are the trigger point signal for the D-Jetronic fuel injection on the type 3 engine.

That makes sense. Odd that none of the schematics at

show it. Ah well. Thanks
