my Newley acquired 2200sc runs ok but the distributor vacuum pipe is tight up against the oil filter I think the drive dog needs to be moved
a tooth or two.my problem is removing the dog I have screwed a bolt into centre of it but can't seem to withdraw it don't want to apply to much pressure does it just pull out or am I missing something your advise would be appreciated Colin.
 
Before you go too far make sure the timing isn’t way out of place. The engines will run with the timing quite a way out so don’t assume it’s correct.
When you say the drive dog are you referring to the bottom of distributor or in the auxiliary drive housing?
 
Hi thanks for your reply its the position of the dog in the aux housing thats wrong I need to withdraw this dog from the housing and rotate it a tooth or 2 but can't see how to pull dog out of housing Manuel says screw a suitable bolt into centre of it I tried this but can't seem to get any movement,dont want to force it too much. the engine performs well checked timing with strobe spot its on regards colin.
 
According to my workshop manual, the fuel pump needs removing and then the Distributer drive housing and drive dog , then the gear can be removed >

Hi many thanks for your help I will give that a go tomorrow . I think previous owner replaced timing chains and re assembled it wrong thanks again.
 
I had written a reply asking if you’d removed the fuel pump and forgot to hit post. Just an FYI access the fuel pump bolts from under the car, it’s much easier.
