When Changing Distributor Cap and Rotor Do You Need to Do Anything Else or Re-Time it

Can I just change the distributor cap and rotor, without retiming the car? The car is a 1953 Ford Customline with original flathead and 6 volt system Thx

 

yup just put the wires back in the same place.

 

That was fast! Thanks. Will that solve a one time back fire and a little rough running?

 

Probably not

 

What is the cause, bad condensor? or plugs?

 

What are you working on?

 

sorry, a 1953 Ford Customline with original flathead and 6 volt system

 

Checks the condition of the points, dwell and timing
