Distributor Drive

Distributor Drive Gear

Distributor Drive Gear

This brass gear goes on the crank to turn the distributor drive shaft. When putting on a used gear, make sure that the gear is not deformed. Note: When putting the gear on we use a propane torch like we did on the cam gear. Both gears should be put on at the same time. Do not overheat or the I.D. may distort.

Distributor Drive

Distributor Drive

This gear matches up with the brass gear that is on the crank. Please read CRANK DISTRIBUTOR DRIVE GEAR for more info. We put this gear in before we put the case halves together. To do this, install the gear into the case with the two shims. Then install the distributor and bolt it down. Press up on the distributor drive gear and measure the endplay. You should have around .010" of play. If you have a lot more than that, add some shims until you get close. Once you've done that, align the clips of the distributor parallel to the cylinder and tighten your pinch clamp so the body of the distributor doesn't move. Now point the rotor of the distributor to the hash mark on the distributor body where the #1 cylinder would fire. Don't move anything from this point. Grab your crank by the #1 rod and set it down in the case and you will be in time.
