My 841 once again died while I was trying to warm it up. Having just come off a condenser failure, I immediately replaced it, no change.
Then I discovered that the primary conductor broke off near the wall of the distributor. I disassembled the connections and attempted to use a 16ga solid copper wire with crimp on connectors in its place. It didn't work, but I might've trashed a (washer) that was between the copper connector and the side of the distributor.
1. Does someone have a good diagram of this distributor (311185)?
2. What is this square shaped (washer) made of? I see it in the image for the Distributor Power Inlet Screw Kit for sale on this site. Would cork work?
3. Should a copper wire with crimped connectors work? Or is there special magic in the wide copper connector strip? (magic = conducting surface area, I'm no dummy)
Thank you for your help!
