If you have a hairline crack in top of distributor body and replace upper bearing/bushing what problem would crack cause? Wouldn't the bearing prevent the crack from opening any further and causing a wobble? And yes I have one with a crack. :D

You might try a stop at the fire department. They may have a fireman or know an older fireman that knows the lineage of the truck. If I did I'd try both towns. You'd be surprised how there's usually one of them that cam tell you every apparatus they have had since the horse drawn days.

Yes I am

Well in response to Brent's post, I will say Thanks to you guys who do take the time to share your knowledge. I don't post much, try to search for the information, but the few times I have had to ask you guys have been very helpful. Even got PMs following up. And a Big thanks to Brent who...

Thanks for the feedback. The shaft is frozen in the distributor by rust and the passage hole through the head also has a lot of rust in it so I guess it was two part question. I have distributor out but cannot turn the shaft. So I will work through the oiler hole as suggested to try and free...

Just wondered if someone had an innovative fix. I've oiled it but the pocket through the head seems to have a ton or rust in it. This is the second one, distributor, to do this. I know I don't run it enough or the heat would dissipate the moisture. No head gasket leak. Figure to take the head...
