Re: Distributor problem

Re: Distributor problem
I am not a fan of the one piece shaft . This assumes the cylinder head is a true concentric fit on the block witch may not be so . The head studs are not a tight fit in the head . With the two piece shaft the coupling sleeve acts as a slight U/J . I make sure the connection is a slip fit not a bang on job . I think with the one piece shaft you can get bushing wear in the distributer and points gap slop over time , just watched Paul Shinns video , just my thoughts .

Re: Distributor problem
A spring loaded distributor drive and a spring loaded plunger controlling camshaft endplay, and a spring retained oil pump all allow for deviations in load on the sprung function. The two piece distributor drive shaft helps isolate the distributor shaft from shock and side load from this movement.
Almost every ‘western auto’ single shaft I’ve seen is bent |
