datzenmike Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 The spindle is supported above the gear by a bushing as it is probably pushed upward buy the crankshaft worm gear. If the spindle was installed from the top it would push up into the distributor is my guess. I pulled a high volume KA pump in the wrecking yard and was in such a hurry to see the oil pressure results I swapped it right in the parking lot. Naturally the damn spindle fell out and I had to find TDC and piss around getting the 11:28 setting. Spindle falling out with pump and timing chain tensioner falling out if you remove the cam sprocket are just two thing that the L series does. 1 Quote Link to comment
