As it should indicate in THE BOOK, the centrifugial advance is present in PRE-MARELLI distributors (introduced in mid-89 or somesuch). The Marelli distributor doesn't use the mechanical advance, and thus isn't susceptible to it seizing. I am led to understand that the Marelli has its own set of problems, but siezing isn't one. I would assume that the '92 is still Marelli, but then it is a later model year than mine, and the changes don't affect my model, so I don't closely watch them. >10 Speed Schwinn <grin> --- <http://jaguar.professional.org/> Sean Straw '88 Jaguar XJSC 5.3L V12 Marin County, California '69 Buick GranSport 455 V8 References:
