Moz, I'll check prices tomorrow, I know Autozone wants $58 US for without a core, But I'm not sure I'd trust their stuff. Let me check NAPA.

Do you have the Hexagon pump drive or the "tang" style similair to the <cough cough> S/B Chev style ?

Frank: I don't know who rebuilds NAPA distributors in the U.S., but the NAPA one I bought North of the border, not that long ago, is a suspect rebuild. I can't get a decent Dwell reading with it. When I inquired here, It was suggested that the Cam is probably worn. Anyway, best look at their rebuilds closely..

Desoto: I may be corrected on the "Tang" drives, but as far as I know, they were only found on 1954- 239 ohv engines & possibly on 1955- 239 Pickup truck engines. Later 272 & up engines all use the hex drive.

Paul,

        Do you mean the distributor Cam? Another thought, check the end play, if it jumps up and down that will affect everything.

            I'll probably find NAPA and AutoZone get them from the same place. I'd bet yours came from the same source as the US version will. All they'd do is send across the border and raise the price  50%!

This may be true, But i came up with a 55-56 Mercury 292 that come from a boat & it has the tang drive & a Mallory Distributor.

So ya just never know & it don't hurt to ask since hes so far away.

Any reason NOT to run the tang drive ?   Sure looks a bunch stronger than the Flimsy Hex Drive that seem ALWAYS broken.

Will one out of a 292 work? If so I will give you one. You have to rebuild it though. e-mail me. eadgpdhome@msn.com
