Hello everyone. Sorry if this has been said before but I could not find anything.
I have a 1964 ford 4000 4 cylinder gas engine tractor.
Some way some how I was using the tractor and the distributor hold down bolt came out and poped the distributer out. I have set engine to Tdc compression stroke cylinder 1 and installed the distributer with the rotor pointing to the area of cylinder one.
My problem is that I have to have the distributer all the way advanced to the point where the oil tube hits the block before the engine will try and run.
What do I need to do?
All of my mechanical experience is with Diesel engines and not a whole lot with distributors.
