Distributor gear help needed…
Have the donor Newport’s 383 torn down and ready to send to the machine shop. Still need to remove the distributor drive gear. I’m assuming I need to pull it out shaft and all but it doesn’t want to come out. I’ve lightly tapped on the bottom of the shaft from the bottom of the engine and it rises the gear enough to remove the cam but the shaft and gear seem to not want to go any further. My workbench big block Mopar book only has this to say about it. (Pic) Help?
