I am experiencing a new problem that I have NEVER encountered with a Model A Distributor. I converted both of my A's distributors some time ago and removed the "pigtail" between the upper and lower plates and replaced it with the Brass springy plate that the acorn nut hits on the bottom of the upper plate that is on the bottom of the post for the points.
I have had the upper plates out in the past BUT this time after installing new points I cannot get the upper plate back in because the acorn nut is hitting on the front side of the springy brass piece that replaced the pigtail. I need to find a way to push down on the brass springy plate when I install the upper plate and then be able to remove whatever I used to push down on the brass springy plate.
Have you ever experienced this and does anyone know how I can do this? Appreciate your input!!
