    I got a horn rod from Bensinger in PA. You can access the bottom of it by removing the side plate of the steering gear. Removing the fender is helpful.

    Hi. I had one where the distr. shaft froze in place causing the drive tab to shear off. I pulled the distr., freed up the shaft, lubed it again and had the tab rebuilt by a friend with a machine shop.

    Troubleshooting Help Needed - Distributor Not Rotating

    I had one that had the shaft lock up. That caused the drive tab on the end of the shaft to shear off. Pull the distributor out and check. You can get a new shaft or lube up the old one and rebuild the drive tab.

    replacement bateries?

    Buy a battery charger with a reconditioner circuit. Hook it up for 24 hours and it may bring the batt. back to life. It works by breaking up the sulphates in the bottom of the cells. Walmart carries a charger by Stanley with this feature.
