sorry only got 113 k on the 90

Oh and i will also be putting my Pro 5.0 shifter in tomorrow.... Early xmas present from the wife, she is also going to be buying me a Mallory distributor to replace the stock piece of shit...

Very possibly the penetrating oil loosend up the varnish or sludge that was holding the distributor, but not as quickly. WD 40 will soften up sludge or varnish, but not as quickly as carb cleaner, WD-40 is great for removing tar which is not much different from sludge. The first time I used carb cleaner on a distributor, I was frustrated because nothing I tried had worked, I found a can of carb cleaner, sprayed the base of the distributor to...

hey thanks. I plan to check out what I have tomorrow. Did you get your pump new or used? sounds like what i need to do.
