Re: Distributors and advance curves - how many did Packard build?

It takes a lot of power to turn the oil pump judging by how my big electric drill strains and gets hot when I run a pump on my test stand. That constant load insures the distributor shaft is always pulled down onto its thrust bearing when the engine is running. Thus no timing variation. Or am I missing something?
