Glad to hear the solvent did the trick for you. Concerning the distributor--the B20F motor had the CIS fuel injection, it didn't need the trigger points found in '70-'73 E models. The 1975 240's distributor is electronic--it has a coil winding inside and a reluctor on the shaft, uses a small amplifier with only a few wires to run and an ignition coil to match. It's a very reliable system and gave my 1969 with 10.5:1 CR instant starts on the coldest of mornings. Being the factory setup makes parts easier to obtain. It's the same ignition the early 240's with the B21F motor had.
