## Discrepancy

(CAN) MAG WAS RECEIVED BECAUSE IT WAS U/S.  WHEN INSPECTED THE ELECTRODE OF THE DISTRIBUTOR GEAR HAD WORKED ITS WAY LOOSE FROM THE SHAFT AND EGGED THE HOLE IN THE ELECTRODE.  THIS CAUSED THE ELECTRODE TO CONTACT ALL 6 OF THE DISTRIBUTOR BLOCK ELECTRODES AND WEAR THEM TO APPROX .020" THICK.  GEAR WAS MFG AND HAD A DATE CODE ENGRAVED INTO THE WASHER OF 4-24-95. THE GEAR AND BLOCK WERE REPLACED AND THE MAG WAS OVERHAULED AND RETURNED TO THE CUSTOMER.
