Distributor install
Got a little issue with a new Snyder's distributor that I received today. It seems that the lower shaft is not attached like the old one and will not stay put when I try to install it. Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong or a suggestion or two that might help?

Re: Distributor install
Did your old one have a long shaft?

Re: Distributor install
The lower shaft should be separate of the top shaft, 2 piece shaft. Maybe the old shaft is rusted in place.

Re: Distributor install
Okay,drop the bottom shaft into the distributor hole,take a screwdriver and turn it till it drops into the drive..it will drop in and stop turning.take the distributor cap and body off and line the pin on the bottom of the distributor with the little hole in the head..gently turn the rotor till it drops in.

Re: Distributor install
I agree with Railcarmover in post number 5 . Just to add , the long one piece shaft was an aftermarket replacement . The original two piece distributor shaft gave a slight universal joint effect .
