So it all started as I tried to insert the distributor in the case. The engine was at TDC for cylinder 1 but after reading on the internet from a very helpful source, I found out that the 'tangs' of the distributor drive shaft had to be at 180 degrees, (horizontal)
I tried to rotate the distributor drive shaft by turning the flywheel clockwise but it would not move!
This means that the teeth that connect it to the cranckshaft must have be chipped and/or eroded down.
This is quite a setback as I planned on starting the engine very soon but now I must lift up the distributor drive shaft and replace it with a new one. The shaft just won't move, even though it's at its normal height. The teeth must be gone and so I now need to buy a new one...
please comment and let me knw you are reading this.
