FuzzFace2 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 rotor button failure! bingo. when in doubt about whether you should be using one brand over another, the answer most always is "MOTORCRAFT". as close to factory as available. on the timing adjustment, it seems that you do have the "hybrid system" as in (I was hybrid when hybrid wasn't cool). you have what is referred to as a thick film distributor. that is due to the thick film ignition module being mounted directly on the distributor. there is a "spout" plug wired into the harness about 6" from the distributor, it is usually a male/female combo of black plastic, that should be disconnected while setting the base timing. after base timing is set and distributor tight then turn off the truck and reconnect the spout plug. now the eec/distributor will adjust the advance as needed Good to here it was something easy and is running again.
