distributor

[gar9854]

so i just got my head back from dover and i cant get the distributor in
is there some sort of trick to getting them in ur just brute force and hope it lines up?

[punkr6]

don't force it. it has a groove in the cam that lines up with the gear on the dizzy...

One side is slightly offset. x2 dont force it.

^^ exactly what both of them said.


it will only go in one way, dont' force it. line it up with the grooves, if it doesn't fit. turn it 180 degrees and it should just pop right in.

and again. don't force it. it should take just a little nudge and it will go in.

well ive been spinning the entire thing and theres no give.
(the connecting "fin" in the distributor is about 1/4in away from the cam)

so the dizzy isnt even touching the cam? like was said up top, just line up the fin and slide in but do not force.
i changed my dizzy in the summer time and it slid right in.

must be nice

the fin or blade in lined up perfectly and its roughly 1/4in away from the cam and its not budging

well i know its the right head cause i punched i tiny cross into the driver side of the head
and for the cam idk but the dizzy was incredibly hard to remove too

lol man this must suck for you kid

gee thanks
but roll w/ the punches i guess

my thought. the dizzy only goes on one way and is matched to the cam si it cannot go on wrong. i know last time i pulled mine off it didn't just slide back in but i didn't have to cram it in there. if you look in the hole at the cam you should be able to tell which side is which and sometimes the little booger will spin a little while installing, at that point you could rotate it back and forth a little so it will catch the groove, just don't use alot of force.

[gar9854]

lol yea sorry for not updating
me and a buddy just tapped it half way in and the cam stopped it and i just twisted the cam gear until it lined up and use 2 430 channel locks

good looking out everybody
