Well, first thing this morning I took the destroyed distributor to my engine builder, and showed it to him, with the part number. He cross referenced it to a windsor motor(totally different distributor)he gave me the Cleveland distributor number, so I called Autozone, got the correct one, installed it, engine runs fine again. The metal fragments concern me, I'm sure they are in the oil pan or around the dist area. The gear diameters are totally different, yet the gear pitch is the same. Any tips on defraging the engine. I've been using magnets with some luck. I will try the purolator filter to catch particles. Thanks for your advice. Autozone will buy me an engine if this one goes out, they seem ok with that since My company (Midas) are they're biggest customer. I would like to save my engine, because it is my origonal block. I am to old to pull and tear the motor apart again!
