Your funny dud,

You probably figured it out by now. Boy a Nomad is my dream car!

The distributor just pulls up out once you remove the retainer with

bolt. Probably need to also remove the cap for clearance

Good Evening,
I am restoring a 55' Nomad with a 265 V8. Is there a distributor
removal trick, or is it just a crappy design. I admit I am a FORD

guy,

so I may just be spoiled. I am just baffled that they would have

the

firewall molded wh.ich gives the illusion that the distributor

pulls

straight up. The engine compartment is so freaking huge I can sit

in

there and have lunch. I just can't imagine the assembly needs to

be

removed. My shop manual doesn't say anything either. The

distributor

is free and it comes up and is free but I can't seem to angle it
properly to get it out. It barely hits the assemply on the

firewall.

Please tell me I am just missing something. Any assistance would

be

greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dave
