distributor drive shaft not aligned

Post by ssengstrom »

I managed to drop the dristributor drive shaft in 45 degrees off and it hangs up trying to pull it out. Can I just turn the distributor to compensate? Thanks

Yes you can just turn the Dizzy to compensate, but it will often times throw people off while working on it in the future (including yourself, knowing you did this). Much better to just work out removing the driver I have used old hammer handles to make my puller, and also had a metal one I built out of another tool that gripped the slot from the inside with barbs.... hard to explain. but the tool I made is not in my possession any longer... borrowed and never returned.
I have found them completely missing more than once. - PILEDRIVER
