Thanks for your help. I finally had time to get to my truck. removed the blue/yellow wire like you suggested and replaced one set of points and one condenser. "Got a nice fat spark" - went to the carburetor with a friend who adjusted the valves and fixed the throttle. it runs good right now. Its just sticking a little when revving up and seems to idle high (about 1500rpms).

Datzenmike, I am going to try those steps on the distributor this weekend. I think you maybe right. My carburetor is likely the issue. It was idling high just before it stopped running. I am wanting to keep this truck running reliably for many years, so good reliable parts are better then cheap fixes. Thank you for your help.

I wish I knew what you were talking about. This is over my head and I will need to consult with a mechanic friend with what you are saying. Thank you for your time. Is this a situation that could benefit from replacing the entire unit?

I guess ratsun. net doesnt need photo sharing site anymore. attached is my distributor for my 1970 521.

as simple of a question this is, I do not know the answer. It appears to be stock or replaced a long time ago.
-
ouch, maybe it is me. why would i be able to get one free?
-
thanks datzenmike, one of the distributor wires is frayed pretty good. but the spark is very week at the points. first I noticed the truck running at a high idle, then the next time I wanted to drive it, the truck just died while warming up.

hey guys, i am have issues with my 521 distributor and wanted to hear from you on weather you would purchase or rebuild the distributor. Are the Thailand distributors any good?

im dealing with a broken throttle cable on my '70 521 at the moment. looks like previous owner had to pipe clamp a cable fastener to the pedal. does anyone happen to have a photo of the cable, where the cable and the pedal meet? I wondered if the standard "big box store" replacement cable/assemble is correct.

it photographs well but the bed it pretty beat up. Thanks though!

I hope it's not the one one I'm looking at. 🙂 ***** obviously I had no idea how the quote function worked. I get it now. You got any pics of the 69 GTO!

Photos? I looked up the optimo's they do seem pretty cheap about $80. but the tires I have seem like the tread is better and they are less then $300 all 4 mounted and balanced. I dont know maybe, I'll have to get a set of those optimos too.
