Default Re: IT's Back! (Won't start)

Very few things can be "Overlubricated" especially a Mod A distributor. Another point I been pondering is what can be put on the bottom of the dist. body to make it come out nice and easy. I've been putting "Neverseize" on mine, but I wonder if good ole "White Lead" would work, or the regular "Pipe Dope" would do the trick without adding a contaminate to the engine's inrternals.

Here's Marco's picture of how the lower plate wire must be bent so it won't short out, and a picture of my distributor. I like lubrication.
