I am trying to help a friend with a distributor problem. The shaft has about 3/8 tp 1/2 inch of vertical play and has dropped far enough that the rotor does not lock into the notch on the shaft. I see there is a collar on the shaft below the housing to keep the shaft from coming up to far, but what holds the shaft up in the proper location. I assume there is something below the centrifical advance plate. Looking around the plate it looks like the plate is spinning on the grease from the shaft lubrication. I am also assuming the plate will need to be removed. What is the proper way to do that?
The repair manual says the distributor is a Delco-Remy No. 111748 and shows no breakdown of the unit.

Its been several years, but I think that you remove the gear on the shaft (Its like a U distribuitor as far as I know.) The pin holding the gear on is tapered, so be sure you are going in the correct direction. Sometimes the pins are bradded over and you have to file them flush to determine which side to drive. I support the gear with a block of hardwood and just drive the pin into the wood, at least to start it moving. If it sticks in the wood, you can get it back by splitting the wood with a chisel.
Remove the insulator/terminal stud for the coil wire. Be careful, from experience it is possible to wring that stud off. and I don't know of a source for a replacement. If the nuts offer resistance, I would cut them off with a dremel tool or die grinder.
There are 3 screws that hold the point plate in the housing. Don't beat on the housing as it can be busted too.
At that point you should be able to pull the shaft with the flyweight assembly from the housing.

You should be able to figure what is worn from that point.

One other thing-The bushing is one piece that is pressed in through an oil cavity. Long bushings like this are tough for me to find.(They are not solid brass-They are porous so the oil can wick through from the oil cavity.)

I hope this helps.

K.S.
