Subject: Oil spill while changing pressure sending unit

Only a minute bit will dribble out. Sending port is located above
static level in oil pan. Galley entrance to oil filter has a check
valve. Only oil remaining to lose is residue in sending unit.

If someone can take down the numbers of the components
and took lots or real big pictures at several angles,
i could find the parts or comparible parts at Conrad.

We did component level repair on equipment WAY more
complex in the navy. Over the years ive learned that
things are not only engineered to work, their also
engineered to fail.  Thats the beauty of a consumer
market. easier to replace than fix.

Nothing ever goes smoothly for me with projects like this...It was going
so well - I knew something was going to happen.

  I set out to replace a faulty pick-up coil in the distributor.  I get
great directions from Dave T, Dave S, and Rob Grady (thanks all!!!).   I
labeled everything and took notes and pictures.  I removed the fuel lines
and moved the air box and got to the distributor.  Removed the wires, cap
and rotor.  I can now see the pick-up coil, but do not know how to get to
it to replace it.  I see a small spring clip.  It was a pain, but I
removed it slightly mangled, but still usable.  But I still can't get the
metal plate on top of the pick-up coil off.    So the only thing I can see
to do next is remove the three small allen bolts in there.  I loosen the
first two easily... then the third one strips!  I don't know if it was
stripped to begin with or if I did it.  Now I can't get it lose at all.
HELP!  What to do next?  I'm totally stuck.

Thanks,

-Hank #1619
