Hi guys, more questions from a newbie I'm afraid.

Discovered today that the advance diaphragm on my distibutor is drawing air :( its a Delco distributor the one with the black cap. Does anyone know if the diaphragm still comes separate. I remember they used to back in the day when I had my first nova.

Also does the Bosch distributor fit the 1300 engine or is the drive on the end of the cam different. If so can you swap over the drive on the distributor?

P.s. I have a 1988 1300 SR

Sorry again for so many questions hopefully one day I'll have some answers.

Cheers Craig

Yeh mate that's the Delco distributor. I think I'm either going to try vauxhall tomorrow for the diaphragm or splash out on the Bosch dist if it fits. I'll keep your details incase I go back to plan b. Cheers for looking.
