Super great videos... I sure do miss them. I picked up a late 1916 Chevrolet 490 and a 1924 Superior. Mine both need everything. I/we hope you get a minute or two and show us your progress. Thanks again

Hey! I'm a math teacher from Canada and I'm rebuilding a 1928 Pontiac. I was thinking of starting a youtube channel too for exactly the same reasons you stated. No experience in rebuilding cars. I just watched your distributor video. It was great to see the centrifugal weights in the distributor which I assume is the automatic timing adjustment. I knew my car had that feature, as the early cars had the advance and retard lever for timing adjustment, but I didn't know where it was or how it worked. Now I know! The Pontiac came with a split six engine, but there are many similarities. One question, in case you read this, how did you remove the distributor from the motor. I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to get it out. It spins freely for initial timing adjustment, but has no vertical movement and I can't see any way to release it. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks

That sounds like a great project. Good luck with it. I’m still working on mine but don’t have enough time to make videos of the process. I don’t know anything about Pontiacs. But y distributor is locked into position with a set screw that goes through the engine block. It’s quite a large bolt and is easy to see. If you take that out the distributor lifts out. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
