A shot or two of penetrating oil like Kroil or PB Blaster, and letting it sit overnight, and you run WAY less risk of damaging the distributor housing. If something is stuck, use force or impact as a last resort.
Nice job! But I wish you'd have mentioned that when rebuilding the distributor that you should get a new, drilled upper shaft and drilled cam screw so that the upper bushings can be lubricated when you lube the lower bushing. Not an expensive investment but it can extend the life of those bushings.
Good video Randall!! What tool did you use on your Dake press to press out the old bushings? I usually cut into the old bushings with a hacksaw blade and peel them out and try not to crack the housing.
You did a first class overhaul congratulations from Aotearoa New Zealand 👍🇳🇿
That's a very clean engine.😊
Another great video, keep em coming.

Good point Rick, I always use a drilled shaft and the one in video that was wore was also drilled.
@@randallstrickland8204 I noticed it was; just wish you'd have mentioned it for others to hear :)
I've recommended your video to the MAFCA webmaster for posting on its website.

I have a set of bushing driverd I use Thanks

polish the cam?
where did you buy that bushing tool at 12:48
Any industrial suppliers should have its called an adjustable teamer
Nylon wedges are much safer and better.
