Asked on the inline engine forum but didn't get any help.
I'm working on my 1960 F100 4X4 223, 4 Speed and I've got a distributor question. I'm almost positive this is not the original engine but the data plate indicates it came with a 223.
I bought a new Petronix electronic ignition kit (module, wires and coil) but could not see how to snake the Pertronix positive wire out of the distributor without removing the distributor from the engine. When I removed the distributor I found a remnants of well beaten cotter key that was just barely holding the oil pump drive shaft in the distributor. Is this normal? Is the cotter key supposed to be a hardened pin similar to the one that holds the drive gear on? I can't seem to find much info on this distributor on line. See pictures below.
