For reasons I don't need to get into, I am replacing the oil pump on my 73' Cad 500. Are you aware of any trick method of keeping the driveshaft (from distributor to pump) in place when putting the pump back on. With the engine in place, gravity wants to drop that thing out of its place and on to yer nose. IIRC last time I used a real thick grease on the distributor end of the shaft to kinda "glue" it up in there while I lined it up and got the first threads on the bolts started, but if there is a better way, I'm all ears. I would rather not pull the distributor because I do not have a timing light with me.
Thanks
