  1. re dampers: Performance Products makes a couple aftermarket ones, a stockish one, and a sfi spec 'racing' one, for a little over a bill or two, repectively. If your really going racing there is the BJH/Rebello damper, at roughly 5 bills.
  2. I don't think your at tdc on the compression stroke. I would suggest ignoring the distributor, and front of the engine. Pull all the plugs, plug #1 with your finger and crank it around until you feel pressure, then with a flashlight, and something non-marking, and combustable like a bamboo skewer, get the number one piston to the top of its stroke. #1 exhaust and intake valves will both be closed (or no pressure), and both lobes pointing up, ie 180deg from the contact with the rockers, which should both be loose (ie .006-.008 or so). Now see if your cam timing marks line up, and see what the top of the oil pump/dist drive looks like, and look at the front harmonic damper pulley to see if it has any marks that might be useful in the future. If your dist drive looks exactly like the manual pictures, your distributor should fit. If not then you need to pull and reinstall the oil pump. Michael
  3. I agree with TimZ, if that is TDC #1 on compression stroke, then your pump and cam timing are funny. Double check that you are at TDC #1 Are we talking about the same distributor all along here, the D612-53? If so, how was it secured before? Didn't get the electronic dist. reference. Keep in mind that these are old cars, mods may have been made. If my memory were better I might be of more help, as I ran into this when converting mine to electronic and I suspect that there might be a little oddness here with the D612-53 (rather than the 52,54). Perhaps someone who knows this stuff will happen along, otherwise I suggest googling your distributor and reading all you can. There are a few posts on other forums related to this. Michael
  4. I would be interested in a set of Rota TBT's in flat silver (: Michael
  5. I had this timing indicator issue too on my 260 block, ended up getting the other indicator - nice to know why, was a bit disconcerting at the time.(: Michael
  6. They look like the Appliance Mesh I have on my roadster. They were a popular dealer option.
