Hey all,
I recently ordered a new rotor and wire set for my TR4A. I am a little unfamiliar with this setup and am curious what the best method is to install these.
It would appear that you just slip the wire end into the cap and screw down the plastic set screw, however it seems that without any thought put into the length of the exposed electrode, I would imagine the current will have no direct path and will therefore be arcing from the actual copper terminal in the rotor to the exposed bit of wire on the leads.
Surely there must be a way to ensure proper contact between the individual terminals in the distributor cap and the wire ends and I was wondering if someone could direct me to a resource explaining this?
Thanks!!
