I added an HEI to my 64, noticed some noise while idling coming from the cap. Figgered I would replace the weight bushings(stealing the bushings from a curve kit). Upon inspection the entire top of distributor shaft is loose; rotor, reluctor & all. NOT just the weight bushings, the whole thing will rock side/side. It's not wear in the dist housing, but the upper part of the shaft moves around. It has been many years since I disassembled an HEI, can this be repaired or will I need a new shaft/dist? Brian

You can disasemble the shaft. Remove the pin
holding the gear on & remove the gear & washers.
Pull the shaft out of the dist. You will have
to spray carb cleaner or solvent on the shaft.
It has some varnish built up in it. Remove the
tiny e-rings under the rotor & dissasemble the
advance mech. noteing where all the parts go. smile


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