how the hell do you get the guts of the distributor out? i took the cap and rotor off, the little tin cover thing, all the screws on the inside, and dash pots. I took the gear off the bottom and the thing inside that has a roll pin pushed in it that goes under the rotor. the stuff wont come out. what am i doing wrong?

 

do not diassemble if you are trying to lock it.....pm sent

 

Sorry man, I have 3 distributors to get it right. I can do it, I just don't know why the inside won't come out. I appreciate the offer though. If everything goes right I'll have a mostly complete 85 to part out by next weekend, including a running 12a.

 

Nobody can help me?

 

post a couple of pictures so we can see what you are doing

 

punch roll pin out of the bottom and remove gear, remove both vac advance diaphragms and you're home free.

 

then does the whole thing tap out from the bottom? i tried pulling on it but it would move like a 1/4 inch and stop, i guess just a few love taps? thank you

 

comes out through the top, so tap tap tap from the bottom with a rubber mallet

 

thank you, i knew it had to be something stupid, i just didnt want to break anything. im betting i didnt need to take the three screws in the inside of the dizzy either... could i of screwed anything up? i also took the screw out of the top of the shaft.

 

There are a couple of screws on the bottom of the dizzy that attach it to the block. Remove them (10mm socket/wrench IIRC) then tap it with a small ball-pien hammer. It should come out.

 

I already had it out, I need to tear it apart to get to te springs and weights.
