Looking for the source of some oil ending up my exhaust pipes..I have a "small diameter" MSD distributor that has an adjustable collar to fit a desired installation height. This collar is two pieces joining together through an allen screw thightening these together. I noticed around the base of the distributor to be quiete oily and this oil could make its way down on the exhaust and burn giving this smell I get inside the car:burning oil on suoer hot metal.
This is a 383 stroker. I also noticed the gasket at the distributor base beeing oily... :sweat:
Is there a lot of oil pressure normally at the distributor base area? Also my weiand intake seems to have a rather large opening that leave a lot of loose around the distributor shaft enough that when reinstalling the dist. I have to make sure it is well centered in the manifold aperture before clamping it down.
I've checked good and this oil looks like coming from there not from the famous rear intake or oil pressure port.
I just wonder If I have not enough of a gasket at the base or the splitted collar leaving an uncurable oil pass?!
thanks,Ron.
