The distributor drive shaft finally went done into its correct depth.
I noticed that by forcefully turning the crankshaft, the teeth of the distributor drive gear (made of brass) would make a shearing sound...not good i thought. By slowly turning the crankshaft a few degrees and the distributor drive shaft (DDS), i found a point where the DDS would turn with the crankshaft. With this I noticed that the teeth were exactly above eachother so I gave it a gentle hit with a mallet and the DDS slipped into its correct position!
I was really pleased when I saw the DDS turning when I manually turned the crankshaft.
I was about to give up hope, I was going to try pull it out with a puller or split the case but I was lucky this time...
Next objective is to arrange the gasket so that my 1600cc Solex 34pict carb can fit on my 1200cc engine. The reason I am using a 1600cc carb is for increased performance but primarily because I simply dont have a 1200cc one.
