Hello,
I would like to introduce #3587 - it has been sitting since at least 1993. I purchased it last summer from my in-laws' neighbor who is the widow of the PO. They owned it since 1987. I have been tearing down the top of the engine to perform a VOD-job and had John Hervey rebuild the injection system. This has gone pretty smoothly, with no broken bolts until today. I decided to remove the distributor so I can clean behind it, and so my woes have begun. After removing the adjustment nut, I realized that I could not move the distributor. It started moving after I tapped it with a dead blow and a wooden rod and spraying with penetrating oil for a while. It still would not come out, so I persuaded a bit and the top of the body broke off. Now the shaft is sticking out and the rest of the distributor is still stuck. What should I do?
Thanks for your help!
