Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Obviously we work on different distributors, most that I've worked on the breaker plate comes out readily without removing the cam.

I just went out and checked all my Packard distributors and you're right, the hole is big enough to get the plate out without removing the cam.

I remember why I had to remove the cam on one distributor, it was when I was doing some cleaning and re-oiling on it. Too many distributors and engines and they all sometimes flow together! I must be getting old and forgetful, time for some of that Ginkgo-Biloba stuff I guess!

Now I feel like a total idiot, retreating back to strictly an observer....

Now. I know at least two ways to do it.
