Part two to my vacuum advance video. In order for the tach cable to attach and work smoothly you need to RE clock distributor one notch counter clockwise. This shows me doing that process. The pedestal often has shims to raise it so it clears the gear by .005 inches. Mine didn’t but I show it’s not binding so I left it alone. Tr4. TR5. Tr250. Tr6.

In order for the gear to drop back down to correct height the slot in the bottom has to align with the oil pump gear below it. Three ways to get there. One, raise rear right tire by itself and put car in fourth gear and have someone jog the tire forward until the gear drops down. Two, take a 1/2 inch bolt and cut a slit on the bottom and insert into the hole and manually turn the oil pump. Trial and error until it aligns. Third, which is what I did but probably not the best way was I pulled the engine fan to turn the Engine. I did one complete revolution watching my white paint on the gear took it came around to original position and it dropped down on its own with no problems.
