Seems like everyone I knew was scrapping old distributors and making a drive for their drill. Never had one. Vic had me convinced that if you didn't purge the journals that the purpose was defeated. According to him I needed to turn the crank under pressure and the best and laziest way was to use the starter. Balanced assemblies and Pep Boys starters didn't always make that easy. Put one together with 10-1 pistons once that my step brother had to push start until he could afford a starter that would turn it over fast enough to make it light.
