Another detail with Distributors that gets little coverage is the end play.
If the gear to body clearance is more then .010" then you stand a real good chance of having spark scatter and the resultant deadly crossfire taking place.
The older your Distributor is the more you stand a chance of this taking place.
Unfortunately when this takes place at high rpm and with open Exh, by the time you hear it and or feel it rod Bearing and or Piston damage is already starting.
Ignition systems missing will not cause damage, but crossfire sure will!
Also many new Distributors have too much darn clearance too!
