I was using my 135 Saturday, just idling around then all of sudden the distributor started turning jerking the spark plug wires off, I pulled distributor(bolt was tight on dist.clamp) and could not turn gear so my guess something broke in distributor housing. First time to see one jerk the wires off, glad a neighbor was there it was almost unbelievable. all suggestions appreciated

If it was rebuilt that soon shouldn't be too dry. More than likely something was dropped in the distributor and it found a permanent home.

If someone drops a Distributor point screw or nut when replacing points and/condenser and does not remove it will do what you describe in some cases. CENTAUR

Bearings in the distributor seized. You've been lax about their lubrication (oil wick under the rotor).

I forgot to say that I had distributor rebuilt 2 months ago.
