Topic: Remove distributor 1936 Ford

  Anybody have a procedure to remove the distributor from a 1936 Ford? Does it come out from the top or is it easier to drop it down working from underneath the engine.

Thanks,

Joe

  Remove the distributor from the top:
On left side;
#1 Remove vacuum line from top left of distributor.
#2 Disconnect the wire
#3 Remove bolt on left distributor flange to block
On the right side:
#1 Remove coil or adaptor plate
#2 Remove the two mounting bolts through flange to
block
#3 Remove distributor and rotate it to bring it below
the right water pump into the fender bulge beneath
the first spark plug on the right head and rotate
it up an out.
NOTE: The tab on the back of this distributor IS NOT
centered and you need to be aware of this when
re-mounting or you will break one of the flanges
off. (The cam shaft slot is likewise not centered
in the end of the cam)
