Distributer drives

Post by grandpascot »

Are distributer drives interchangeable? I have two 25D's one with straight dogs and another one with offset dogs. I want to change them over as the one with offsets has electronic timing and wont fit my Morris.

Are you talking about the part on the end of the distributor or the shaft which goes across the engine to the camshaft,

To change the shaft you take off the distributor base plate from the block then use a bolt screwed into the shaft to withdraw the shaft, fitting is the reverse but make sure it is properly home before undoing the bolt.

The dog on the end of the distributor is usually held on with some sort of pin which can be tapped out.
