I wanted to replace the universal joints on the drive shaft. Probably pulled too much apart. I removed the retainer nut from the pinion that secures the pinion to the universal joint. It looks like I've been leaking gear oil from the pinion seal so I wanted to take a look. Here are my...

Wanted to give the wrap up on the Carb/Dist Upgrade. I looked around to find a new '57 (or later) mechanical advance distributor and couldn't find anything that was reasonably priced. Instead I bought a CRT Performance HEI distributor and coil. I also used Ted Eaton's procedure to make sure...

Never mind. Somehow the following picture was omitted from the Ted Eaton article. It all makes sense now.

Sorry to have to many questions. I read the Ted Eaton article and still had one more question. I sent Ted an email but he hasn't responded yet. Here's what I sent Ted: Hey Ted, I've got a 1995 F100 with a 239 engine that I've been restoring. I've pulled the original Load-A-Matic...

Pulled the distributor. 14 teeth with pictures attached. Can I use a 57 distributor with mechanical advance? Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for all of your input. Looks like I need to make what I have work. I will check the number of teeth on the distributor to confirm. This is my first rehab of an old truck. Thanks again

I am new to the forum and was hoping to get a little guidance. I've searched around and haven't found the information I was looking for. I inherited a 1955 F100 about a year ago. The engine had been rebuilt and then it sat for about 10 years before the owner decided he wanted it out of the...
