Well it did it again. This time I got about a 1/4 mile from the house when the engine went dead. The short story is that it sheared the dist. gear pin for no appearant reason. I am changing from a Mallory Unilite with a steel gear to a MSD with a brass gear in hopes of fixing. The Mallory is a self oiler that is way too tight, so I think it is heating up enough to weaken the pin. Last time the oil pump gave way and siezed with a tiny piece of the gear! Any thought on this problem are appreciated.
