Default Re: Rebuilding Early FORD V8 Distributor

Yes, it was very good. I know how hard it is to make a video so to get that put together must have taken a lot of work.

It didn't mention how hard it can be to get the side plates out, though. I also thought the surface finish on the edge of the brake disc was a bit sketchy. I'm pretty sure that would chew up the leather pad in time. Inspection of the rotor and shaft for signs of tracking would have also been a good tip, and using shrink tube to add insulation to the necked down part of the shaft.

Not sure how helpful all the part numbers are. It's not like you can go and get a new stop screw from the local Ford dealer when it gets lost under the bench.

It's good that this stuff is out there, though.

Slick work getting your link in there, Jim.

Sorry if this sounds like I'm slagging the video, I'm not. For what it is, it's very good. It's just that there is more to it than what was shown.

I could do a version, but it would have dirty old parts and poor audio.

Mart.
