Electronic Dissy In Flatty

[Roger the Dodger]

I am doing this conversion http://p15-d24.com/topic/27231-flathead-to-slant-6-distributor-conversion/ and I am having trouble removing the pick up plate from the s/6 dissy.

How do you remove the vacuum advance arm ?

 

Thanks, Roger.

The pick up plate is held in to the distributor body with two screws, the vacuum advance arm is removed by carefully separating the pickup plate from the base plate enough to get the advance arm out. Be carefull separating the pickup plate, there is a spring clip retainer underneath that could break or distort if the two plates are pried apart too far.

Thanks Daliant, Got it apart with some help from a spray of WD40. There was rust on the Vacuum advance pin which was stopping the pin coming out of the plate.

All done.
