I have a small puddle of oil at the base of my distributor on my 426 HEMI. The distributor is a new MP Electronic and has the proper O-Ring installed and is tight. Should there be a paper gasket at the base of the disributor? If so, does anyone have a part#?
Thanks,
Paul
No, it was one or the other ... gasket prior to 69 ... Chrysler bean counters would not have allowed the use of both a gasket and an o ring. First there was a steel embossed gasket used ... remember the distributor body touching the block is the GROUND PATH ... before the switch to an O ring.
Gravity is a strange thing, look for your leak above that puddle point.
