yea..u should have a rubber ring for it...my dads dodge had one and he forgot to put it in and it does the same thing...bloody cheap...u dont even need the specific part...u can use VCR belts that are smaller, or tranny o rings...anything round and rubber that will seal it decent and fits snug around the shaft of the dist.


got my 78 merc with a 250 I6 and i love it.
