Ok for anyone who needs to rebuld there GT40 distrbutor it is VERY easy. The only problem with mine was the pickup (stator).
1) take Dist. out of motor
2) remove cap and rotor
3) clamp dist in a bench vise
4) with a small punch and hammer knock out the roll pin in the cam drive gear I had to heat up the gear only with a torch
5) with a small punch and hammer knock out the roll pin in the spacer
6) pull the shaft out the top of the dist.
7) remove the 2)6mm bolts that hold the stator in place
8) (mine didnt need the bushings replaced but they can be bought on line for a 1995 Ford Lightning)
9) I bought the stator for a local autoparts store for a 1995 Ford Lightning w a 351 ($35)my old one fit VERY loosly on the center of the dist shaft and was walking all over the place I belive causing me problems(miss firing and crazy tach). The new one fit pretty tight I have to tap it on to the shaft with a dead blow hammer lightly. You can find the parts on line cheeper than I paid but I wanted it done now not later.
10) Mine (dist)had corrosion all over it on the inside I cleaned it with a wire brush and sand paper.
11) put oil down the center shaft and reassembled everything as described in this but I replaced the roll pins with new ones from the auto parts store ($2).
I already had a new cap and rotor from White Lake Marine I will test the boat hopefully this week if I can get out of the office one day.
I hope this helps someone else Thanks Airtool
