This vehicle started to "bumble" slightly the other day when towing my boat. The last time I had this it was much worse and turned out to be the dist. Cap. That was about 18 mo's ago. I opened the cap up and it looks good. What concerns me is there is a ring just under the rotor, it is about 6 inches around and about 3/8 inch thick. It is loose, just sits there and can be lifted up and down slightly and turned about a 1/2 inch or so in either direction. Is this part acting normal or is it broken? If broke does the dist. Have to be replaced? Thanks, dennis

Hi dennis sullivan, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

It shouldn't be anything loose or wobbly in there its either the Pick-Up Coil or the Pole Piece / Reluctor Wheel you talking about-you can replace the component or just get a new distributor assemby or at the junkyard
