No, the rubber grommet is shaped the same as the nylon grommet, it has a
little "barrel" that goes into the metal part of the distrubutor. I'll
double check just to make sure though.

I would not use the rubber grommet where the nylon one was used. Is the
wire going into the distributor touching anywhere along the body of the
distributor?

Hey Charlie. It's a rubber grommet I found at Ace, but it fit just about
perfectly. The old one was chewed up on the outside but I had the same
problem with it.
I guess I'll give another coil a shot. I'm gonna have enough stuff for a
couple more bikes when all's said and done...

Hi Ted,
What sort of "rubber one" did you use - just a normal off-the-shelf
grommet or one specifically made for the distributor? May be allowing
the condenser wire or points to ground a bit. I'll send you an intact
original if you need one.

I agree with the others, try another coil also - perhaps one from NAPA
or the Sorensen (sp?) that Greg and others recommend since they're
inexpensive enough. Cheers,
