Mark, Mark, Mark,
You were Supposed to have an old distributor with the teeth ground off of
the gear and the plate and advance mechanisn removed. With that chucked into
a 1/2" drill and slipped into place you would actually get oil pressure
throughout that smallblock Chevy engine rather than just the main bearings
as you would with just a long blade to the oil pump ;-) I wish there were a
way of doing this on the A-Series, but I haven't seen such a thing.
Just my usual unhelpful self I guess...
