As of today the oil pan is off and I have yet to remove timing gear, sprayed some carb -cleaner around shaft from oil pump to distributor gear.Hoping for an easy extraction. (bits of aluminum shaft have been recovered out of the oil pan)But will follow suit with timing gear as next step. More to follow soon.
The distributor did move freely prior to pulling the engine, now I have it up dangling on a good chain hoist and balanced on a few saw horses, not really an engine stand, so I'm just being cautious about this not all tumblin down
Much thanks for your input.
Thanks again,
On Hudson
