I am running a classic FAST system using a sequential configuration on a 2.3T Ford.
I am running into a problem trying to lock out the centrifugal advance in my MSD billet distributor. I am following the instructions from the PDF on the MSD site on page 4, but I am unable to remove the shaft & rotate it 180 degrees.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Going by the instructions the shaft should just pull out & rotate but it does not come out at all.
Well I figured out the problem was the spacer/sleeve below the reluctor wheel was stuck on the shaft (this is a new distributor that has been sitting for three years). Once it was pulled off there was a very tacky residue on the shaft & inside the spacer. Apparently that spacer should just slide right off.
