Here is a copy of the email I sent Broncograveyard.
The depth of the distributor's oil pump drive shaft hole is too deep. The depth of a stock distributor is about 1/4-3/8" deep. The depth of your distributor #18540 is about 1/2-5/8" deep. The problem is if the oil pump drive shaft rides up in the distributor enough to come out of the oil pump you will lose oil pressure. I had to fab. a piece to fit into your distributor #18540 that was about 3/8" long and that will not let the oil pump drive shaft come out of the oil pump. This caused me to burn up my rebuilt motor. I have spent alot of money rebuilding my Bronco with you and spent alot of time and money rebuilding my motor. My disappointment goes without saying but I hope this helps the next guy that buy this distributor. My motor is a Ford 302 mid 80's. I hope that you would pass this information on to the manufacturer and your customers.
