I never was sure, as she was quite young, but I think she was just being funny.Comment

After I pulled the distributor I tried to pull the shaft out to just look it over and coat with grease. Should the shaft come out? It wiggled but wouldn't come out, but I thought it was suppose too.12-21-2020, 06:48 PM -
Was the long one piece shaft original to all four years of the Model A and the two piece for a shorter lower shaft extension later or after market? Also the lower shaft is just tongue to tongue with no pins holding it together with upper shaft? Thank You.03-18-2019, 10:31 AM -
Most Model A distributor drives that I have seen use a separate shaft that couples the engine drive to the distributor shaft. I have also seen a few A distributors with one long shaft that reaches all the way down to the engine drive. I have been told that Ford never did this and that these are aftermarket distributors. I have also heard that the one piece arrangement is really a bad idea because...06-13-2019, 11:29 AM -
When the engine is running the distributor has a slight wobble. If I tighten the set screw that holds the distributor in, it really wobbles and makes a horrible noise. As I loosen the screw it makes no noise and the wobble lessons. Could there be an alignment problem with the upper and lower shaft?

If some of you read the "Modified" section you will see I have been having a small problem with a "B" distributor. Well, for a simple solution I carried and installed the Jeep distributor which I won't go into here. But in doing this, I noticed I developed a new noise.
The "B" distributor being a two piece shaft didn't have a problem, installing the single...09-24-2019, 10:31 AM -

While attempting to replace clutch brake shaft bushings I noticed that the shaft was worn. A new shaft came with the bushings however it appears to be to long. I don't see where the original shaft is pinned. I need some guidance on this one. See pics. ...05-08-2020, 07:58 PM -

Greetings!
I'm thinking of replacing my clutch/brake shaft on the bell housing.
Is this a fairly straightforward job that can be done in the car or should I wait til I take the engine/trans out?
Can I just grind off the head of the securing pin on the bell housing, drive the pin into the bell housing, and wiggle the shaft out of the bell housing, wiggle new shaft in place,...01-16-2021, 10:25 PM
