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

by DBrerAfter 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.

by ThosdMy old distributor had a one piece, after market shaft. My rebuilt distributor has the two piece shaft. My problem is that the lower shaft drops out of the distributor when the distributor is held vertically. How can I install the distributor with a two piece shaft without the lower shaft dropping into the valve galley? Use loctite to hold the lower shaft into the sleeve?

by greenhornetWas 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.

by vonheineMost 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...

by RumbleseaterPulled the distributor from our '29 Coupe in preparation for a rebuild. The first photo is the unit from our car. The second photo is an extra I acquired a while back. The original distributor's shaft sleeve is completely rusted and unremovable from the shaft. Are the original shafts one piece? The second distributor appears the same way (one piece). I bought a drilled upper shaft for a replacement....You do not have permission to view this gallery.

by DBrerWhen 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?

by DaWizardIf 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...-

by WardI am measuring some eccentricity between the lower part of the distributor shaft and the upper part of the shaft where the cam mounts.
New bushings, honed not reamed, and burnished with a perfect fit to the shaft with no discernable play. A new upper shaft purchased maybe 20 years ago.
I put a dial indicator on the upper part of the shaft where the cam mounts and I'm finding...-
