Need help with distributor.

[ethandf06]

my 81 fiat spider's distributor is sucking oil up through the shaft and spitting it into the cap. Does anyone know how to rebuild a distributor or fix the seals that are inside the shaft?

[So Cal Mark]

remove the distributor, drive out the pin holding the gear on, remove the seal. Assemble in reverse order. If the pin has never been removed, you probably won't be able to get it out very easily

International Auto Parts has a quick video on how to replace the distributor seal. Here's a link to the videos page.
