I have a 1984 Fullsize Ford Bronco. I have had the distributor gear shear pin replaced twice. Following this I have had a new oil pump and distributor installed. The distributor gear pin sheared off again. What else do I need to check? What is causing the distributor shaft to bind? Is it possible that the new distributor was bad?
