Went through the whole no spark replace parts routine, even updated to electronic ignition and kept having a no start issue. I had my girlfriend crank while I was changing the distributor position thinking it might still be a timing issue when I noticed that the distributor was only sometimes trying to spin which explains the intermittent voltage I'm seeing on my multimeter. Took it off and the drive gear tang is incredibly wobbly/loose. Almost like nothing is holding it in place at all yet it won't come all the way out of the tach housing with pliers.
I removed the tach cable but can't tell if the stub out is removable or not and without it removed I can spin off the distributor base. Anyone know if that tach stub does thread off? I did try but wasn't able to get it to budge and I hate to snap the housing.
Plus, once I get into that what am I likely to find? I've looked at the manual and every parts book I can find and there isn't any good diagrams of what that gear/assembly looks like and where it could break. Is there a shear pin or a set screw holding the gear to the shaft, etc?
I'm at a loss and dead in the water on some very time sensitive projects. Any help whatsoever would be appreciated.
