Hi

Before you install the distributor, be sure to check that there is no play between the shaft and the gear. Common on Stovebolt 6 after 50 years.

Hold the bottom of the shaft and try to move the gear back and forth.

I've had one pin break on the road, replaced with a roll pin as a temporary fix. If the pin is loose you many find that it has worn both pin and shaft. If you have to replace the pin be sure to get a good tight fit on gear and shaft for the pin.

I'll attach a picture as soon as the manage attachments is working.
