Subject: [oletrucks] Where can I find shims
for a distributor?
I am installing an HEI distributor in my 57 GMC this weekend.
Specs for the HEI call for about 0.010" end play in the shaft.
The one I have has considerably more than that, otherwise it
appears to be in real good condition. Looks like all I need
to do is measure the endplay, knock the roll pin from the gear,
remove the gear, add shims = 0.010 less than the measured play,
replace the gear, reinstall the roll pin and check for proper
clearance. My problem is I don't know where to find proper
shims. Any ideas??
I don't think that will work, will it? The
gear doesn't set up against anything, what will you be shimming
against?
