I am contemplating pulling my original points distributor and switching over to a Duraspark as my winter project. Before doing so, I have a question for the brain trust here at SAOCA.
The last time I pulled my distributor (to install my 5 speed trans) I had a hell of a time putting it back in, because the shaft that drives it kept flopping over to one side. I finally had to drop the oil pan to solve the problem. Anybody had a similar problem or insight into what was going on? My local mechanic suggested that the oil pump maybe missing a sleeve or collar that should be holding the shaft in place.
Thanks in advance for thoughts & suggestions!
