I just bought a Pertronix Flamethrower Plug-N-Play HEI distributor for my 65 coupe 289. I made all the marks and took all the notes and pulled my old distributor out, but in doing so the oil pump driveshaft started to come out with it, then dropped down.
Does anyone have a method for repositioning the driveshaft? I can see it and I can get a magnet on it and pull it up but it hangs on something that prevents it from coming out completely. If not for this setback, this job would've been smooth and simple. I'm surprised that this potentiial problem was not mentioned in the Pertronix installation instructions, nor in my Chilton repair manual.
Help. Thanks, Troy
