Crab distributor vacuum passage o-ring
Just rebuilt my spare distributor. The o-ring on the mounting face was flattened and hard, so I dug it out. Now I can't find a replacement at the usual suppliers.
Is there a supplier? Is there a commercial o-ring that will work? |

Re: Crab distributor vacuum passage o-ring
Go to any well stocked hardware store. I am sure that you will be able to find something suitable in the large selection of "O"-rings most good stores carry.

Re: Crab distributor vacuum passage o-ring
If stuck you could cut a short piece of suitable hose. Vacuum hose perhaps?

Re: Crab distributor vacuum passage o-ring
A while back, Bubba was giving these away for free. He mailed out two o rings to those who inquired. I'm working in the garage, if I find them, you are welcome to one. I'll DM you when I find them.

Re: Crab distributor vacuum passage o-ring
Here's Bubbas old post. He uses a Toyota part for the square cut seal. I have used a piece of fuel line that I cut clean and straight.
