rotor won't rotate

Soundguy

Just un-snapp yer 4-nipple cap and letter dangle and you don't haffta remove enny sparkie wires 'cuz neubies can't seem to gitt the firing order correct (1,2,4,3 CCW).

Re-installation, just finger start the 2-bolts and twirl the rotor until it dropps into the slotts; then tighten the bolts and re-snapp the capp. Simple, eh?

Points gap is a skinny 0.015" and timing (1/4" gap) is usually ok after changing the points; so don't worry too much there. Timing is a complicated procedure best described by pictures.

Make certain yer squarecan coil bottom springy-thingy is gently stretched so it securely touches the points screw when clamped onto the top of the distributor body.

As to yer claim of rotor not turning, are you sure? Iff'n you didn't seat it fully on distributor shaft, you may have mucked up yer 4-nipple capp. Check-itt..... ...Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

Yes, you can buy replacement bakelite camshaft gears that PRESS-ON but I DON'T RECOMMEND it because you have NO-WAY to index yer camshaft to the camgear and your engine will be OUTTA-TIME and NOT RUN.

Byte the bullett and gitta replacement camshaft with 4-bolt timing gear.

CAUTION: some of the 4-bolt timing gears are "miss-marked" and iff'n you don't check the valve timing with the piston TDC before you gitt the head back on, you won't be able to start yer engine and yer compression will be 50-70psi. It is a NOTICABLE visable miss-timing, not a micrometer kinda thing. You'll be off a couple of gear teeth..... ...HTH, Dell
