I just pull the distributor. It doesn't take long, and you don't lose timing.

Mitch,
Why, may I ask does Dudley's post not apply? It sure looks like it does to me! What is your reason it doesn't.

In Dudley's picture with all the wrenches, the one on the left is the same Snap-On wrench that is in my picture (post #16). The one in the center looks to be the Mac Tools version of the same wrench.

Your correct, the one on the left is Model A(11/16"). The others are
for other engines that I do.

Re: It’s Alive (& Dry!)

i am using a freshly calibrated click style torque wrench. the addition of the crows foot is a non issue as that nut took the same as the rest today cold. if there is a difference it is so minuet that it is not noticeable less than a lb maybe a tenth of a pound

It's about 13% difference with the short crows foot.

So how much in ft lbs would 13% make? My torque wrench is in 5 lb increments so when torquing with the crows foot vs a socket it is the same. ( not noticeable as far as the click.)

And if you put the crows foot on at "right angles" to the lever arm - no recalibration is necessary.

Of course you have to pull "into" the crow foot.
