need help on my 83

today i adjusted the valves, timing, and holley 5200 carb., and also cleaned the spark plugs. the valves were way off. it gets a hell of a lot more power now but still has some issues. when i pulled the distributer cap off everything was soaked in oil. does anyone know where the o-ring goes or if there is a kit to rebuild the distributer? there is an o-ring on the outside of the shaft to keep the oil from coming out of the block but i need to know where the one is inside the dist.

also, my carb. is haveing some issues. i need to adjust the fuel, it is running to rich, and i don't know where the screw is. i think it is behind a plug right below the fuel inlet but not real sure. i know that holley puts a plug over there fuel controls so that no one will screw with them, so i am thinking that this is it.

the truck diesels when i kill it. so tomorrow i am going to buy new plugs, but i know that the problem also lies in the carb. running to rich and the dist. getting oil in it.

anyone have any experience here? thanks.

I believe that there is only one o-ring on the dist and that is the one u have located.There are always rebuilt dist on E-Bay.If the truck diesels or "runs on",I wouldbe sure and check timing again,should be 6 degress BTDC.I would also run some Seafoam in my gas tank as u may have some carbon build up that is getting hot and causing truck to diesel>

i believe that there is more than that one o-ring. that o-ring is only there to keep the oil from coming out of the block. i believe there is another inside the distributer that keeps the oil from coming through the shaft up to the rotor.

i ran a can of berryman's b12 through the gas tank. but i may go ahead and try the seafoam as well.

i really don't want to buy a dist. unless i have too. i would much rather buy an o-ring and fix it myself. i may have to go to a mazda dealer this week and check it out.

i have an old broken distributor for an 84 i will take it apart and see if i can find a seal on the inside if you think they will be the same

I keep forgettin u r talkin about a 2000 not a 2200,U may be right,I know there is the one that keeps oil from leaking out of the block externally.I thoght the other one was actually on the dist shaft itself-not inside.Could be wrong .BJ

i believe they are the same if it is a 2.0. what is wrong with the dist.?

Hey you if you would have reminded me I have some o-rings that came with my kit when I did the top end... I would have given em to you if that is all you need

I dont really know if anything is wrong with it but it has some rust where it was in the bed of the truck and got rained on it may can be cleaned and used.

was it off of a manual or auto? i don't think that it matters. how much do you want for it?

all my spare motors and transmissions are manual you can have it ifor the cost of shipping
