Thanks for the advice, sure enough ,the carb cleaner did the job as I worked it back and forth, turning "clockwise "also the key to getting the gear and shaft out.
Dismantled oil pump and everything moving freely. Looked again at distributor and saw that when rotating it locks up, grinds,etc. suspect some bushings just gave out. In the past I lubed the distributor shaft through the small portal fairly regularly, maybe just not enough, fatigue and bam?
Why the 240 95'distributor, I don't have fuel injection, what do you do with the extra wiring with the FI distributor ?
How to clean out the brass sleeve that the shaft sits in ....pipe cleaners and more carb cleaner I guess.
Thanks
On Hudson
