SPECTRE(Codename for Phantom III) IGNITION DISTRIBUTORS.

Trouble has been experienced on the test beds due to the contact breakers on the spectre(Codename for Phantom III) distributors not being correct angularly in relation to each other.
Will you please therefore arrange for the Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) double breaker distributors to be sent into the Laboratory for the breakers to be set to our rig before fitting to the engine.
