That is because of the way the gear on the distributor and camshaft is tapered. If you turn it the other way it will pull the camshaft towards the rear of the engine. That is all normal. When you put it all together it won't do that.
For every 1 turn of the crankshaft will make the camshaft turn twice. So the distributor will turn around one time for every 1 turn of the crankshaft.
they don't even make a Chevy s15
the shaft that runs through the distributor. it turns on the camshaft housing to make the top of it spin which makes the points open and close, and turns the rotor to send spark to the plugs
Inpossible, the engine is not designed for a distributor.
Hmm, as a rule they don't break, although Chevy had a problem with soft camshafts "rounding." A broken camshaft would make quite a horrible racket when the engine is turned. You most likely do not have a broken cam shaft.
will a bad crank shaft sensor make a 2005 chevy equinox not start
Cranksaft turns twice for 1 distributor rotation.
Corrosion inside the distributor cap. Get a new cap and rotor.
Mine did this, replacement of distributor solved the problem. Go figure?!?
There could be many causes. It would be easier to answer with more information, What year 350?, fuel injection or carburetor? Water in gas Low fuel pressure Vacuum leak Bad spark plugs bad plug wires bad distributor cap bad coil Detonation Bad timing bad camshaft are a few items that would make it happen I hope this helps
Unbolt the two bolts on either side of the distributor. Disconnect the 2 lower electrical clips. Disconnect the upper clip. Slide distributor out, when re-installing it make sure the distributor "teeth" line up with the slot on the camshaft. Replug everything back in.also make sure it is on top dead centre on compression stroke or the timing will be way out!
I would replace the ignition module in the distributor. Also need to make sure the coil and wire is good too.
