Awhile back somebody on here was complaining that their 235 was shearing off distributor shafts. I was reading the ole '54 Shop manual, and it says thus:

"Hand screw the tapered end of the oil pump retainer bolt into the recess on the oil pump body. Tighten the bolt snug and hold in place while tightening the jam nut. Be careful not to overtighten oil pump retainer bolt, as excessive torque can cause breakage of distributor drive shaft or tang..."

pretty interesting, eh?

Good to know. I just ordered a CD shop manual for my 61. I'll be reading it thoroughly.
