Default Re: Distributor Help!

Buy this book: https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/p...0031&cat=41621

You can find used ones on ebay.

You will need some new gaskets. Take a look at the gear on the crankshaft while you are in there. The gear should be in good shape unless the car has a lot of miles on it. The seal will likely not require replacing unless you are getting a lot of leaking at the front pulley, but buy an extra one to use if needed. You should only have about 0.003 backlash for the cam gear. Get some assembly lube to put on the gear when you put it back together. Put a little grease or some assembly lube on the thrust plunger.
