Distributor Stuck, Can't Adjust Timing 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Thu Oct 7 21:05 CST 2004 [RELATED]

On my 1980 242 DL, my timing was off. I loosened the 12 mm bolt holding the distributor adjusting area, but couldn't move the distributor. The bolt was almost off. I used a hammer and pipe on the base of the distrubot to no avail. I also sprayed carburetor cleaner over the area of the bolt/adjusting hole, to no avail. In addition, I pushed and pulled the distributor to loosen it.
