Re: Distributor Help!
An easy way to check the timing gear is checking compression with a finger on one hole. Or, remove the timing gear side cover and rotate the engine looking at the teeth.
It certainly sounds like you have a bad cam gear.
If you want to work on the distributor, just remove it. Loosen the side nut and loosen the screw. The distributor should pull straight up. It may need some persuading. Don't try to twist it out.
