Does this look like an issue to anyone? Engine has been running fine however, I came across this while doing a valve adjustment. After the valve adjustment it seemed like it was running a little hot and upon inspection came across this..

That's bad. Without that shimmed up what happens is the shaft can move up and down and then side to side later on. Get some shims and replacement fiber washers and you might be good to go.

| Kinda what I figured lol.. I had a spare 009 on the shelf that I went ahead and replaced this one with. Pretty sure this is an original Bosch unit so definitely worth getting restored. Thanks again for the input! |

Don't waste you money, just get a better distributor.

Original Bosch is good. Most likely you will need to remove the plate that points sits on in the top of the distributor. After you do that remove the pin and gear on the bottom. Pull the shaft out. You'll want to replace the inside fiber washer if it is there. If it is not then it has disintegrated. Slide the shaft back in and put a fiber washer on the bottom and then reshim it. Reattach the pin and you are good to go. There might be other issues with the distributor but that process above will fix your current issue. Make sure when you buy the washers you buy the fiber kind. There are a lot of paper ones out there people are selling and using which do not work. They also need to have the dimples in them to hold the oil.

Funny you say that, the more reading I do on the subject that seems to be the general consensus lol. Seems they’re fine in a pinch but..
This is in an original HO 15/1600 single port, H30/31 carb, any suggestions on what to use in place of 009? Did my engine originally come with dual vacuum distributor? Again, thanks! Learn something new everyday.. |

The H30/31PICT is not the original carb, it's an aftermarket replacement also,
If I remember correctly, the 113-905-205T distributor, which is vacuum only, work well with that carb.

You will be looking for a SVA distributor. Besides the 113 T you could also run a 113 M or 113 K distributor with that carburetor. That will restore smoother running and a little better mpg. A properly shimmed 009 is a good back up if you are a worrier.
