Have a feeling I did not install a spring between the Distrib, and the Distrib Pinion gear/drive. Do not see it in the Raby video, but its in the factory parts schematic. I am running an 050 (i think, its not an 009) mech. adv. distrib. Do I need to put the spring in?

allrighty, i can pull the dizzy up about half an inch. The rotor is spinning freely, so I am betting that its pulling out of the drive slot, and the pinion is staying put, hence, the washer should not be able to fall. I hope.
However, the dizzy seems to be binding beyond that. WTF? Any tricks to coerce it out of there? |

Any tricks to coerce it out of there? give a good yank. also helps if the clamp for the dizzie is removed via the stud/nut on teh case, so the clamp pulls out with thte dizzie. if you try to pull th e dizzie thru the clamp it will hang up on the o-ring. so remove the clamp with the dizzie, shoudl yank right on out. good luck |

Good news is the drive gear stayed in the case, so the washer stayed put. Now i am afraid to pull up the fear to re-index, lol. I KNOW how the diz is configured out of standard position, whats the harm in leaving it that way? I have no intention of passing the car onto anyone. Can the gear be pulled just to the point where you can re-index it, but not far enough that the washer could drop off? |
