55 Chevy with 235 engine, I have a whining noise coming from distributor, at first I thought it was fan belt so I changed it. When I put my hand on distributor cap the noise changes. Any idea what whining sound could be? Thanks...

If the rubbing lock on the points are dry it will make a buzzing noise. You must have a pinch of grease on the cam. Examine the cap & rotor. The bushings could be dry. Put grease in the cup on the side of the dist & turn it in to force greases into the bushing.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
