Default Re: Distributor not turning when cranking engine.

Need to change the cam gear ? OK. First thing to do if you have never done anything like this before is to get a repair manual such as the one written by Les Andrews. These or others are available at any of the vendors such as Bratton's, Snyder's, Mac's ,etc.
The front cover needs to come off which will probably require removing the hood, radiator if you have a one piece front pulley. A special socket should be used to remove the cam nut. The crankshaft gear needs to be inspected for condition. The marks on the gears need to be properly aligned when installed. All is well explained in the repair books.
