Ok guys, I was installing my new motor and was very exited (first time). And I was lowering the motor in, and I had finally found a way to get it rally close to getting all the way in and I noticed that the rear was too low, so I jacked it up a bit with a piece of wood inbetween the jack and the oil pan. As it jacked up I noticed that the distributor hat was pushed against the firewall.

I guess what my Q is do you guys think that I should get very nervouse about it and get a new cap right away, or let it slide. It wiggles a tinny bit now, but I have no idea how much it wiggled brfore. The only visual damage was 1 of the 4 screws seemed to have poped up a tinny bit. So i tred to screw it back in and it worked a little. I am 99% sure that the distributor is fine, since it was only the cap that was getting pushed.

Any insight please. Thanks

 

This is the distributor I am talking about

id let it be for the time being if the motor runs good then leave it.

 

"don't fix what isn't broke."


at the moment, you don't know if its broken or not. leave it be.

 

ok. I guess I will. it looks like it is fine. I am just nervousr cuz this is my first motor ever bought and I really don't wanna mess it up in any way. Thanks for the posts guys.,
