Every pin can BECOME a sheer pin! What's the dif. between a sheer pin and a
shear pin? I do believe both are correct.

My '68 Mustang had a shear pin holing the gear
on. Don't ask how I knew it was a shear pin (:

A man stopped by my shop just now with a distributor for a '49 Chevy,
the
bushing are worn he wants me to make some new ones. Anyone know how to

take

it apart? I can't figure it out.
Any tips from those who have done this?
Thanks in advance,
