Miss Elizabeth finally strips for me!

[bobbycoke]

Well after all the years in a multi-state relationship just as I am leaving VT. Miss E stalls and refuses to start well pushed her in her home[a heated garage] and she refused to start? All seemed ok, popped the distributer cap and turned over the engine -----no rotation of the distributer!!!!! How clever am I , figured it has to be the dist. gear or the timing gear.....boy that college really paid off [that is the school of hard knocks].. took out the little timing gear pin thingofamagee and felt for the dimple [ well actually a deeper hole as I drilled it a bit deeper so I could feel it] low and behold I can't find the hole!!! Well now I feel that perhaps I Drilleth to deepeth and hastened its demise!! My humble question to all barners is aluminin or a fiber gear, any pro's and con's and any tricks as MissE and I haven,t been this intimate in a long time! thanks bobbycoke
