Steven, Well, I was going to pull the diz because there is some oil coming up from the base (slight)...which suggests its time for a new O-ring. I also thought that the problems I'm having with misfiring in 3rd and 4th could be related to the diz. I've replaced everything else :) Last: the wires are good quality Bosch, but I was sent the wrong ones :( apparently - not angle plugs. This from a supposed Type III parts house, Bill and Steve's. Hmm. Thanks. If you have any ideas regarding the misfiring, please let me know :) Jonathan On Sun, 5 Jan 1997, Steven Ayres wrote: > > Jonathan=> Tried to get the dizzy out of my '63 Notch with no success. > > All you have to do is remove the 13mm holding the clamp to the block, > the distributor and clamp should pop right out.
