I am looking for some Talbot expertise please.
On rebuilding the engine on my 14/45 Scout, following an engine seize, and I have taken the opportunity to look at the distributor, which I felt had previously had too much backlash on the gear. I have taken some photos (as attached), and to me it clearly shows that the distributor gear is only half in mesh.
My first thought is that I have the wrong model distributor. It is A Delco-Remy 656ED, which came with the car. In the Technical Resource manual in the table on page 22 and in a letter from Delco-Remy on page 24 it states that for the 14/45 Talbot 1929/1930, the model of Delco-Remy distributor should be a 656Z. Does anyone know if the 656Z has a longer shaft?
