hey guys. i finaly found out why my engine runs funkey. throwing codes for a muli cylinder missfire i changed out all the parts i thought of and no result. after months of trying to figure this out i got a tip from a friend who said to check the distributer shaft and see if its loose. bingo.. the shaft is loose. would anyone happen to know how to go about either tightning the shaft or replaceing the distributer?

usually the shaft and gears are held together with roll pins and is easier to just pull one at the yard or get a new one. but replacing the pins can be done if you can source them. this dizzy may be different though

Wait, the shaft is loose inside the dist, or its loose at the engine block?

Joe pull the trigger on those sliders so you can get out there and use them. Then get you a locker or two.
