Back in the 70's Ford used a hex shaft to drive their distributors. This hex shaft was driven off the oil pumps. These hex shafts were 1/4" in diameter and were under designed. A lot failed and left a lot of owners stranded. One man at work that hauled about 6 or 7 riders in his Ford station wagon had this happen to him.
The engine started and quit dead. No fire from
the ignition, pulled the distr. cap and the rotor wasn't moving when we cranked the engine. He lived in PA about 30 miles away & called his wife
to come & get him & the riders. Had the vehicle
towed to the local Ford garage. They had came out with a 5/16" hex shaft and you had to change the distr. & oil pump. I think they fixed it free. I had a Mustang that I changed the distr & oil pump on. I went to the 5/16 shaft
before I was left stranded. I bought this car used and it kept fouling plugs. I used a bore scope light to look into the combustion chambers
and 3 were wet with oil. Pulled the engine apart
never saw so much carbon. Rings were seized in their grooves. New rings, bearings and a valve job made it like new. Hal
