When I do it I put the collar on it just snug so it can just move... then I put it in and clamp it down(the dist hold down) then pull the dist out and measure the collar to the end of the shaft.. move the collar so I have .015 clearance.. tighten the collar and put the dist back in and set the timing

does the collar go on the distributor shaft?and whats the procedure for properly installing it?is the collar eliminating most of the upward movement of the intermediate shaft and distributor shaft?and what are the benefits of the collar?sorry d just curious on this post is all.thanks As the intermediate shaft lifts up(due to the angle on the gear) it rotates and turns the dist shaft.. in turn changes the timing.. when you put the collar on it you basically lift the dist shaft and clamp it tight.. this eliminates the intermediate shaft from lifting and turning the dist EDIT just a little info as the engine is accelerating the intermediate shaft is pulled down and you wont get the timing variation.. once its done accelerating then the load is taken off the intermediate shaft and will lift... same on decel.. the valve springs kick the cam back and forth which jumps the shaft up and down changing the timing

You can get the collar from Tractor Supply for like $1.50. Or you can pay for a "specific" Mopar shaft collar off ebay for $16.88, lol. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-Distributo...tr#ht_792wt_867

i just saw this post after i posted in the general section. same issue. i'm putting together a prestolite dual point, and have .053 up and down movement. i could look for a locking collar, but what about just finding another washer to put between the collar and the existing washer? The problem is that the end of the distributor doesn't bottom out in the intermediate shaft slot. The intermediate shaft can still move up and down due to the clearance between the two parts. The shaft collar fixes that.
