hooziewhatsit Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 If you have any junkyards nearby, try to find an '87. I believe that should have a disty shaft that is keyed. If you find one that's keyed, take the rotor off and look down into the shaft. There will be a phillips head screw to remove just the top part. Then find the screws to remove the cover plate so you can get the top part out. You can also do this to get one with good threads if you can't find a keyed shaft. I finally found and installed a keyed shaft after I ended up with NO threads left on the old one. -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
