Distributor broke, replaced, now ticking?!?!?
Short version of the story....changed oil pump a couple months ago while doing some other work, found one of the 2 mounting holes on the distributor was busted.....limping along until I could fix it.
Yesterday morning, started sputtering, wouldn't downshift. Pulled it off the Hwy, tried restarting a couple times, but would die & ended up towing it home. The distributor had come loose & was almost out.
Replaced distributor today, started & ran fine the first time. Went to back it out of the garage & now there is a tick.....valve damage?
