OK, let's try this again. The old DIST came out easily during tear-down? The re-builder did not re-install the OEM LOAD-O-MATIC DIST but you attempted to install a 1960 FYB DIST with the LYB DIST GEAR and this gear interferes with the fitting? How badly was the FYB DIST SHAFT damaged when trying to take the gear off?

CORRECTION -

You removed the LYB DIST GEAR and put it on the FYB DIST.

Are both of the DIST GEARS the same dia.?

Where are the photos of the fitting?
