Timing Cover Housing-AMC360

[rollbar]

I have a statement/question.

When I pulled the distributor I looked down in the cavity and of course I seen the oil pump where the screwdriver goes/tool to prime.

Does this area (cover housing) fill up w/oil?

If so, how much?

When I re-installed the dizzy the paper gasket was on the bottom of the dizzy and I was going to put grease there but didn't.

Thanks,
Jim

What dizzy are you useing? The Motorcraft dizzy uses the distributor housing as a ground for the Duraspark system. Sometimes the paper gasket can interrupt this ground. A suggested mod is adding a dedicated ground wire.

As far as the oil, yes there is some oil there. There is a weep hole on the cam gear that weeps oil for teh cam chain and dizzy gearset. It's not a lot of oil and not under pressure.

Thank you.
Also, we were looking at the dizzy and didn't see a ground, I will add one to my tree.

THanks again,
Jim
