<VV> Distributor Wrench

[Jim McLott]

Smitty,

You too, huh?  I first tried a distributor wrench, but the hold-down nut
was too close to the base of the distributor to allow the box-end to
fit.  Odd thing is, I have a set of stubby box wrenches and the 9/16"
fits and works just fine.  The only drawback is you have to shut off the
engine to tighten or loosen the nut.

  Smitty Says:  I must be very special (not as in "short bus" special)
because you can not get a dist wrench or a box end wrench on either of
my standard distributor adjusting nuts.  The stud sticks up so far
toward the bottom of the distributor base that there isn't room to get
one in there.
