Default Re: 305E V6 troubles

Bill and 705jmguy, When I replaced the distributor, I had a hard time finding one. I found it at AutoZone, brand name Cardone.

Abus, the gears don't looked to be sheared off, they look like it skipped half a tooth and the cam gear tried to make a new space in the middle of the distributor gear, if that makes sense. The rotor does spin freely with the distributor out of the motor, but in the motor, it felt like normal.

Thank you for the help guys. I might just pull the V6 for now and save some money to rebuild it later, and drop a 350 in it. It is my only truck right now and I need to get it back on the road. As you all know, finding parts is like pulling teeth for these motors. I have had 2 separate fall through in picking up a spare.

Bob, when I pull the motor, hopefully by this weekend, I'll take a look at that too.
