Re: Distributor Seized
I pulled the pan and cleaned out everything. There were two pieces of sheared gears in there, so it was worth the job.
The old distributor is un-rebuild-able. I removed the old lower plate to see if I could drive out the shaft, etc. It was definitely a terminal injury. The upper bushing / bearing area is mushroomed out and split all the way around. I have an awesome new ashtray now.
So I drove around for a couple of hours today, no issues. I have a bunch of rattles and such to iron out, but hopefully its all easy stuff (yeah right). I noticed the rear end is leaking pretty bad, so tomorrow I will clean everything off and see if I can pinpoint the spot. Do we know if there is vent (pressure building in rear, causing leak) or does it just vent through the torque tube? I'll prob have to rebuild the rear now.....
