Re: question pleasedistributor
I suspect your head gasket is leaking one of the water jackets in the area of the distributor. Try re-torquing the head. You can also add a tube of aluma-seal to the radiator. It works good at sealing water leaks in the block without pluging it and the radiator up. The other alternative is to replace the head gasket.
It is always a good practice to remove the distributor at each oil change. Clean and re-set the pounts and put a coat of grease around the base of the distributor housing. You don't have to reset the timing as long as you do not loosen the cam screw.
the distributor can easily rust in place and become difficult to remove if you don't occasionally remove it.
