Help! oil pump shaft jammed

3K views 3 replies 3 participants last post by  PhiberOptik 
Can you spin the driveshaft with a drill using a socket and extension to confirm if the oil pump is working?When you say the shaft is very stiff and doesn't want to come out does this mean you don't have the collar on it so you can pull it out of the pump?.....The driveshaft in my 306 tends to lean to the back of the engine so installing the distributor is usually difficult with it.I usually drop the distributor in as far as it will go until it almost seated except for engaging the pump drive.If I bump the engine over the distributor will turn a little and then fall into place.
