Hello All,
I have some of questions about the distributor on a 1969 MF135 Perkins gas motor. First, the gear broke on my distributor shaft so I ordered a rebuild one. I measured the diameters and they are the same as my old one. But measuring up from the bottom of the gear up to where the matting flange it is about .125 longer on the rebuilt distributor. I’m not sure if the shaft was pushed up into the distributor housing on my old distributor. Should I worry about that? The place were I bought it said it’s the right one. But the part numbers have been ground off.
Second, does anybody now how to remove the distributor drive gear that is inside the timing cover? Do I need a gear puller?
Third, should the distributor drive shaft just pull out once the bolt is removed that holds it to the thrust washer on the other side of the shaft? I thought I could just remove the shaft and gear in one piece but it wouldn’t slide out. It moves about ½ inch and gets hung up.
Finally, as you can guess I lost my timing when the distributor broke. I lined up all the timing marks on the timing gears and looked at the timing marks on the flywheel. Even though the timing mark indictor is missing it looks the timing is set around 12 degrees BTDC. I’m guessing if I align my distributor so that the points just close I’ll be pretty close. Anybody have any suggestions? If anybody has a picture of where the timing indicator should be it would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry about the long list of questions in advance. I bought that IT service manual but it lacking any detail, at all! I can even find torque specifications in it.
