Managed to reassemble the spare distributor I pulled apart few months ago. I also found the root cause. Initially I thought its the ignitor but once I pulled it apart I found traces of oil inside the ignitor which caused leakage (volage) and intermittent misfire. This could be a common failure mode for most of these distributors.

After applying high temp silicone to seal the two units. This was sealed at the factory and I had to scrape off the old silicone and clean both surfaces before applying fresh silicone. The factory seal had broken in few places over the years and I found traces of oil inside.

Once butt the two together and tightening the three screws to secure the coil assembly to the base. Note the orientation as it will only fit together in one orientation.

After wiping the squeeze out

Did the same for the ignition module unit. Found traces of oil in here as well. In fact the seal was completely broken and there was quite a bit of oil inside which would have grounded the secondary coil intermittently.

Thats some good info about the dissy, was about to diagnose what seems to be a misfire with my car. Im thinking either spark plugs or spark leads in one or two of the cylinders. Usually happens between 1800 and 2300 rpm when cruising/sitting on throttle. Might be my dissy aswell. Will have to check it out.

Do you mind posting this post up into a sticky in the mechanical section too? It's the most detailed description and photography I've ever seen on this.

+1. Educates us all on what is in there and what goes on when the dizzy is to blame for that 'miss'.

Top marks fella.
