There's a 16mm bolt on the passenger side of the fuel distributor that faces the rear of the car. When removed you will see something that looks like this pic:

If you don't see the leftmost part, use something non-abrasive to reach in there to get the last part out. Shims can be found at https://www.deloreango.com/us/fuel-p...tor-shims.html
I'll check the WOT switch tomorrow if I can. Hoping this can be cleaned so I don't have to drop $60+ if it's bad. I don't suppose anyone knows of a cheaper cross reference part?
I will also do those throttle plate adjustments that NckT when I get the chance. I saw those a while back and was curious if those would be helpful.
Thanks all!
Out of curiosity, what size did you need to bring it back up to 5.4 bar? I would guess a .50mm or .75mm shim (those appear to be the norm)?
I warmed her up today and went for a little ride. She's still running great and when I went to check the Dwell after getting back from the drive, and the dwell is swinging again as it should. I'll keep an eye out for the WOT switch and check again over the next several runs to see if I can duplicate the issue, but working fine for me this morning.
NckT -- On the Throttle Plate adjustments that you linked to. Can you clarify which 3 screws you're referring to? Is it the #1-3 screws mentioned on page D:01:13 of the DMC workshop manual or are there some other ones I'm not aware of? Just want to make sure I'm working through the right adjustments later this week when I'll have the time to work on it.
Is this it: Attachment 53908
Thank you everyone for the help!
Hello. Yes, I'm referring to those brass hex headed bolts as in the picture.
Don't forget the metric feeler gauge (or whatever the imperial equivalent would be)
Re the wot switch, try spreading electrical switch cleaner or wd40 at the point where the full load switch presses on it. Disconnecting it will prove if it is the wot causing it to go into a fixed dwell or not.
Good luck with it all.
