wrenchbender, please explain more.
this seems that it might be the answer.
i didn't know the dist turned the oil pump.
i did raise the dist a little to make it seat because the book said to raise it 1/16 of an inch i believe it says. do i need to shove the dist in further? seems to make a vibratiion if i push it in further.
also, i put my finger over the hole in the block where the plastic tubing goes into for the oil pressure gauge and don't feel any pressure. if it takes that much pressure to move the gaugue, wouln't i feel some of that pressure?
please advise and thanks much
tony
