distpin.jpg Distributor Gear Pin
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

After a few days of intermittent rough-running, the cheapo chy-neez distributor pin was found sheared. Somehow, the engine kept running well-enough for the truck to be driven. Ford gears are press-fit onto the shaft, in addition to being pinned, which virtually eliminates this possibility. So to keep this one from breaking again, the gear was installed with toughened super glue and a new pin.
