Default Re: Distributor gear

If you have the 2 piece distributor drive and you should, the shaft can only normally be installed correctly as it is mated to the drive shaft. but if you have a large amount of wear the upper shaft could be installed 180 * off. the upper shaft slot is off set so that it can only be installed correctly. like a screw driver slot on a screw but an off set slot. If that is the case you would have a major amount of backlash.
