If the gear is in place you won't be able to spin the distributor. Or
maybe you are planning to knock the teeth off of the gear???
Anyway, I have a deal for you. I have the original distributor
(replaced it with an HEI) from my '57 GMC V8. I'll send it to you, you
modify it as needed, use it and when you are done send it back so I can
use it for my rebuild (not yet scheduled, but my 347 has 102,000 miles
on its previous rebuild). It would also be available for loan out (with
a deposit) to other list members.

Does anyone have an old no good distributor for a V8 TF engine. I don't
need the cap or any of the internal workings. But it does need to have
the
gear. I want it so that I can spin the oil pump and lube all of the
internal parts before initial start. I know that I can use a
screwdriver
but an old distributor will work better as it will also lube the
lifters.
Thanks for any and all help,
