Make sure you run the o-rings.

Hey Ken,
Not sure whether you just want to replace your OEM distributor for an aftermarket one for more performance, or whether you are having problems with your original distributor. If you are interested here is a link to the RSS Feed that had an article on rebuilding the stock tach drive distributors.
I hope this helps.
Rich

Easy to rebuild your original.....if you want send it and I'll do it for you. The aftermarket one will not fit under the original shielding.
O-rings keep the oil to the upper end. All new aftermarket ones have the grooves, if you need I cut them in the old ones on the lathe and add them. Keeps oil pressure from bleeding past the dist shaft and starving the lifters/rockers.

Pictures...........I need pictures! Could you post a picture or two on what you're talking about? I think I understand what you're talking about with the o-rings, but I would appreciate a couple of pictures to be sure. Maybe a with and a without????? Thanks guys, I'm always trying to learn and this site has a BUNCH of good teachers!

This shows a stock unit and a Mallory billet unit. The dist is driven by a gear on the cam, and the bore that the dist sits in passes through the oil galley for the cam/lifters/rockers. A stock unit just fits (see the lower journals) snug but still allows oil & pressure to bleed off. The aftermarket units have groves machined in that allow O-rings to seal so NO oil pres.flow bleeds off and all goes to the cam/lifters/rockers.
Kap, send me your dist & I'll turn it around quickley for you.
