OK as the engine comes together I am prepping, cleaning and rebuilding as I go.
I rummaged through the 261 box to find the distributor, only to find that it wouldn't spin. Not at all.
I tossed it in the solvent tank to soak over night. It would need a complete rebuild, was my thinking.
The next day I tore into it. Here's what I found:
1-the distributor body is all one cast piece machined.
2-there are NO NUMBERS so I have no clue what it is
3- the bob weights plate is shot, it had 2 different sized springs, one pin had broken and the other 2 were nearly cut in half by the springs.
I am looking for a distributor now I guess and am curious what others can tell me.. I don;t know if my 216 distributor will work or if it would and I'd need to change the gear so as not to destroy my new Delta 254 cam.
