Clyde Varney Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I replaced a driver side cam carrier housing that was stolen with one from the internet. Now my distributor will not go all the way down and fit properly. The rotor shaft turns freely, but the distributor housing is too big for the mounting hole. Anybody know why?

MilesFox Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 try sanding the shaft of the disty with high grit paper. It should fit by itself. maybe there is a little corrosion on it. also, try a spot of motor oil on the shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Varney Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Thanks, tried all that, used WD40, no corrosion, but still too tight. feels like the shaft or the hole is tapered. Goes in part way, but gets tighter as it goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 the only thing you replaced was the cam carrier? did you replace the cam too? EA82 distributors should be exchangeable all day long - what vehicle did the cam carrier come off of? STOLEN? who steals a subaru EA82 cam carrier? they're worth like 50 cents?
