    Im going dizzy looking for a dizzy

    Hello great folk of the forum, not been on here for a while and as I’m preparing the old timer for a mud plugging event thought I’d spruce up the distributor cap and HT leads.

    Cannot remove Disco I distributor

    So, pulling the dist since it seems the advance springs/coils/etc are in a tizzy. W/shop manual: "release distributor clamp and remove distributor". Yeah, right. Dist freely rotates, but will move in/out only about 1mm. Am I missing something?
