I have a 79 450 sl and i suspect my distributor magnet pickup is bad and i am trying to replace it. I removed the cap, rotor, dust cover and have gotten to the star wheel on top, i removed the circle clip and really have no i dea where to go from here. I dont have alot of experience removing distributors and all that but what exactly do i have to do to remove and replace the round pickup that plugs straight into the wire going to the icu? Any help would be much appreciated.
Im trying to track down a no spark situation, i have a new dist cap, rotor, plugs, coil, good icu and 2 brand new resistors, i also have a brand new cable from the dist to icu coming in the mail today. Ive got a hunch that it may be the pickup in the distributor which is why im posting this and thank to all that are taking the time to read this.
