Intermediate shaft issue

So your slot opened up to .167 from .153? Wow, i had a guy tell me he put a piece of water pump gasket over the end of the dist shaft with a dab of grease and tap it in for a snug fit. Ghetto but he told me it cleaned the timing right up. You found the proper fix.

The shaft I had in my car was a used shaft that was in my old engine. I would had never guessed that it would wear that much, but it sure did. I have the MP hardened shaft in the car now... At least It was a nice upgrade.
