Reply to "Role pin for distributor - setup unclear"

liv1sMember

I have NEVER experienced a sheared roll pin on my car but I've always had aftermarket distributors, a Mallory dual-point then MSD RTR. I've owned my car for 35 years. I have, however, experienced this failure while driving at freeway speeds in my friend's '73. It had a Motorcraft big cap electronic distributor. I replaced the distributor with another Motorcraft distributor. More power to the person that takes the time to do a post-mortem to find the root cause.
