Distributor rebuilt. In Chicago now, but I will write up a Dirk Van Appledorn style 'how to' for those who want to take a peek inside a DVDA distributor when I get the time.  |

Took the door panel off the drivers door of the Sport Bug today to tighten the vent window tension. Nice to find the inside of the door basically untouched (no body repairs.) Hopefully I won't have to hold the vent open at highway speeds now.
