Title: 1968 280SL Distributor
Post by: n/a on January 21, 2004, 12:42:26

Re:  Bosch distributor. P/N 0231 116 051 (JFUR6) for 1968 M-B 280SL.  

A professional mechanic has disassembled this distributor to inspect and found springs detached from weights associated with vacuum advance mechanism.  Correct attachment of springs for re-assembly is not obvious, so mechanic is in need of service information such as an exploded-view of the distributor.  Please direct me to a source of this information if it is available.  JDG

Suggest you ship the distributor to Dan Caron, a member of this Group, for a rebuild.  He has the equipment to bench test and all the springs to rebuild.  Prices quoted to me are reasonable.
