Stop in for a cup of coffee

I wish I could paste some of the phone calls I get.
Best one a guy asks can I go through his 440-6 dist his motor shoud get installed so. Sure. Can you look at a few others also. Sure. OK open the box one used two NOS. They are seriously expensive. Ran the nos up no issues his did need a rebuild. Get them done, send them back. OK around a year later get a call guy is pissed. What did you do to my distributors all three won't turn the shafts are to short. He cranked each one ten minutes he said. Hey, take a pic down the hole. He did builder never put the oil pump drive in. LOL tell him the motor has to come apart and be checked since there was no oil pressure. never heard from him again!
Did something similar on my SBF :lol: I was like 17 at the time so cut me a little slack :lol: Motor was in the Ranchero already, ignition was about all I had remaining to do. For some reason I looked in the part box and there in the bottom of the box this long hex shaped shaft

DOH!.jpg I know, I'll slide the keeper washer off the shaft and drop it into the oil pump from above :lol: DOINK! as it bounced off the bottom of the oil pan :lol:
