Default Tach-Drive Distributor Reconditioning "How To" - PDF

Greetings all.
In case you missed it in the thread from a few days ago I am re-posting the PDF file based on Joe Fisher's (Plaidside) excellent set of photos taken as he reconditioned two tach-drive, vacuum-advance distributors.
I believe this will be of great benefit to anyone considering rebuilding a distributor or having to replace the cross-gear and main shaft due to failure of the tach-drive cross gear.

The PDF file is attached for those who want to add it to their reference collection.

Cheers.

Dave Z

But Joe did all the "heavy lifting"!

Thanks for the feedback. I have fun working with y'all and putting these together.
