My mill has 435,000 miles on it and I want to swap my dist. because of all the play in the shaft.
Problem is that the guys at Firestone didn't index the reman. dist. when they fixed my sync pulse stator in 2000.
The base of the dist. doesn't even sit flat on the block( 1/8 gap).
Besides the fact they had to move the plug wires one position clock wise to get it firing.
I didn't notice all this until a few years later.
My question is will I mess up the cam gear or dist. gear if I put a new dist. completely engaging the cam gear?
The old dist. has alot of up and down play and side to side and oil gets up inside thru the shaft under the cap.
I have a JY dist. that has no play in it for the replacement.
