So I started my Carb swap today. I pulled the old EEC-IV distributor out, and was getting ready to put the new one in. I could not get it to fit all the way down into the block. So I tried putting the old one back in. It would not go in either. I shined a flashlight down the hole where the dist goes in, and see that the oil pump shaft isn't centered in the hole. When I pulled the old dist, it took the shaft with it, and then the shaft dropped back into the hole. I had no idea that the shaft could come off of the oil pump, and now I have no way of putting it back in. Is there an easy way to get this fucking thing back into the pump without having to pull the engine apart? I know it ain't broke, cuz it shows in my book that it comes off. I am really worried about trying to get this thing back in. Is there a chance that it could fall down inside the block somewhere?
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.
