I need some advice on an oil leak at the bottom of my ditributor, it's dripping on th heat shield above exhaust manifold.
Is there a replacement seal? Where can I get one ? I havent seen any in the International catolog??

Oh. it's a 78!

Mine used to leak on the heat shield, but I fixed that by removing the heat shield. unfortunately it now drips on the exhaust manifold.

IAP has this part, I'm just sure of it. They even have a video to go along with it! DBL check the website. Other vendors have it too, just give 'em a call.

It may just be the gasket between the distributor and cam box. Mine was leaking in the same place. When I removed the distributor I found there was no gasket.

You don't have oil in the dist cap, do you?

I had the same problem, I ordered a shaft seal for the distributor from IAP. They have a very good how to video also.

Half an hour after I got the part, no more leak.
