Unilite distributor fit problem
Installed Unilite into a 350 block. I forgot that my builder didn't put the nylon coupler bushing onto the oil pump so I pulled distributor and put one in. Now it won't drop back in. Has me baffled. Any help appreciated. I finally contacted Mallory and they said it doesn't need the nylon bushing. I'm going to measure original and compare.

Re: Unilite distributor fit problem
Did you put a bushing on the distributor end of the oil pump drive? If so it's not supposed to be there.

Re: Unilite distributor fit problem
The nylon "bushing" secures the oil pump to its drive shaft, not to the distributor.
Ninja'd by one minute!

Re: Unilite distributor fit problem
The oil pump has to have the oil pump shaft attached with the bushing AND installed from the oil pan side of the engine.
