Should my rotor and the metal tube it sits on be able to turn 360 deg. by hand as if the engine is cranking? Makes me think the total distributor is broke... Thus then how do I know what size / kind to replace it with. AA in atlanta wants serious bucks and other online are like 1/4 of the price but not sure if am looking at the correct replacements.

my answer to your question is that the distributor is not seated in the drive gear. the rotor might turn about 30 degrees but should not turn 360. the bottom of the dist should fit into the slot on the top of the drive gear. i think you need to follow the factory instructions about bringing crank to TDC, then locate dist drive gear at 12 degrees then insert dist.
oh, hi evan. we met at the dr evil thing in frederick. i was in the white 1.8. |
