Re: Pre Osha
If that were a model A and you didn’t drain the oil first, you would have a mess. Unless of course is was a grain truck.

Re: good spark at plugs but no Henry jiggle
Are you sure it’s an ignition problem? After trying to start the engine, are the plugs wet? I like to spray a little ether in, to see if it will cough, to prove whether the problem is fuel or spark....

Re: Tudor lost spark
Sometimes the “slots or tabs” aren’t quite the same size. Have you tried putting your old distributor back in, just to see if it will drop in?

Does anyone have pictures, or drawings of the specs of the rear main, in the block. Specifically, was the forward parting line open into the engine, or was it closed like the other bearings? I’ve...

Re: starter woes
Are you using the same switch? How do they spin out of the car with no switch, directly connected to a fully charged battery? Just thought, “maybe your battery took a crap”.Have it checked.

Does it have a drilled upper shaft (under the rotor)? If so then probably over oiling it.
