Took the past day to rebuild the distributor. I ended up taking it fully apart and cleaning up all the bits. I found a lot of very old dried up grease inside the housing that needed to be scrapped out. The body got a quick blast in the blasting cabinet removing all the old flaking paint and rust. I painted the body with some semi gloss black and then began reinstalling everything. I’m planning on using a spring pin to secure the drive gear to the shaft once I can get to the store.
