Bushing Replacement

On 6 Cyl. distributors, remove bushings with a suitable tap and puller (C-3744). DO NOT drive bushings from housing. On V8 distributors, remove bushings from housing with suitable driver (C-3041). On all distributors, install new bushings with suitable adapter and driver (C-3041) and press new upper bushing into position in bore.

NOTE: soak bushing in light engine oil for 15 minutes before installation.

When properly installed, bushing will be 0.094" below top of bore. Invert distributor housing and press lower bushing in until it is flush with bottom face of distributor. Drill a 1/8" hole through upper bushing by drilling through oil wick hole. Remove burrs from hole after drilling. Install suitable burnishing tool (part of C-3041) and force through both bushings. Burnishing tool should finish inside diameter to 0.4995 - 0.5000". Bushing-to-shaft clearance should be 0.005".
