"Praise God from whom all blessings flow". I have the gasket installed correctly on one side of the distributor. I had to pull the wiring loom to get to it. On the little 60HP, that is a tough job with crooked fingers. I'll get the other side done, whenever. I'll try to get some pictures posted soon. (With somebody's help. LOL.)

Lawson, Here is what we did two years ago on my '34 Ford distributor. We couldn't get it all together with the wire looms attached so we pulled the wires out of them. The way we got the wires back into the looms was to attach baling wire to the sparkplug ends of each wire and flood the insides of the looms and all of the wires with silicone lubricant. Then we pulled the wires trough the looms, shortest ones first. I hope that this helps you.
