[Spridgets] Dizzy spindle boss

[Daniel1312 at aol.com]

I've never heard of this happening before.  Could be the block was damaged 
already at that point, the spindle was a mismatch with this particular block and 
was tight so seized, could be the distributor was binding somehow, stopped 
and the spindle stopped till the cam spat it out?  

Do you have a picture of what the spindle looked like after?  Did the spindle 
turn freely in the block when it was assembled?

The block was a 1275?

Regards

Daniel
