Re: weird distributor problem
Okay so here is the skinny so far...
Contacted the seller...he responded promptly and informed me that this sometimes happens when its cold or one uses thick oil - especially with V8 Jeeps...this is the first time he heard of it with a GMC...anyway oil travels up the shaft with rotation and comes out the top bush pooling in the distributor housing plate...the remedy as suggested by HEIDizzy was to remove the gear and shaft and drill a weep hole about half an inch below the flange....he assured me this would stop the oil pooling and that he stands behind his product for any future problem...basically re-asserted his warranty/guarantee as posted...thank you gents - I performed the mod. and put it back in - i'll drive it awhile and see if my oil problem stops...all you guys who do the swap in the future may want to do this fix before installing the new unit as pre-emptive....
