IGNITION SYSTEM
the bushing is
above
the top of the housing bore. The
upper end of the bushing should be 1.613 inch from
the top of the distributor housing measured from the
bottom face of the straight edge to the top of bush-
ing. Invert the housing and install the lower bush-
ing flush with face of distributor base (Fig.
9).
(h) Insert a
3//32
inch rod through housing oiler hole
to see
if
the hole in bushing indexes with oiler hole
in the housing. If the rod cannot be inserted through
the housing and bushing,
drill
a
V i
inch hole through
the upper bushing by drilling through the oil wick
hole. Remove burrs caused by the drilling operation,
and blow the chips out of the oil hole.
(i)
Install the burnishing tool, part of C-3041 Tool
Set and press the burnisher through both bushings
(Fig. 1 0 ) . The corrected bushing inside diameter is
.4995
to
.5000
inch.
ASSEMBLING THE DISTRIBUTOR
(Refer to Fig.
2)
(1) Test the operation of centrifugal weight and in-
spect the weight springs for distortion.
(2)
Lubricate the governor weights.
(3) Inspect all bearing surfaces and pivot pins for
roughness, binding or excessive looseness.
(4)
Install the cam spacer, (chamfered end down)
on distributor shaft.
(5)
Slide the cam and yoke assembly on the dis-
tributor shaft and engage the weight lugs with the
slots in the yoke (Fig. 1 0 ) .
(6) Install the cam retaining spring clip (Fig.
4).
(7)
Lubricate and install the upper thrust washer

(or washers) on the shaft and slide the shaft into the
distributor body (Fig. 1 0 ) .
(8) If the gear is worn or damaged, replace as fol-
lows:
(a) Install the lower thrust washer and old gear on
the lower end of the shaft and temporarily install the
roll pin.
(b)
Scribe a line on the end of the shaft from the
center to edge, so that the line is centered between
two gear teeth
as
shown in Figure 11.
Do not Scribe
completely across the shaft.
(c) Remove the roll pin and gear. Use a fine file to
clean the burrs from around the pin hole.
(d)
Install the new gear with thrust washer in place
and with the hole in the gear rotated approximately
