Re: How to remove distributor; was "Turkey Noise"

[Bill.Brace@donnelly.com]

If yours is the same as mine there is a cover over the hold down bolt for
the distributer. The cover appears to be held in place by a large pop rivit
witha domed head.  I drilled mine off and after much agravation and a
broken drill bit or two I got the cover off to find out that the "rivit"
was really a regular right hand thread bolt with a special breakaway head.
When originally installed they torqued it down until the head broke off.
     What I would recommend is taking a punch with a sharp point and a
hammer.  Locate the punch near an edge and tap it counterclockwise until it
loosens - then you can unscrew it with your hand!!!  Good luck and happy
wrenching!
