Ok so Im working on the engine rebuild and have the tach drive all in pieces .
I have new oil seals for the distributor and tach drive pinion .
The pinion gear seal looks just like a regular oil seal .
when you look at the parts breakdown it shows a retainer ring and a seal . #s 122/123
The seal I have is the same O/D as the retainer ring . The only way to get the existing retainer ring out is to collapse it in on its self and destroy it .
So my question is ....Is the new modern style seal in place of the old retainer ring and rubber seal .
Or do I leave the old rubber seal in and add the new style seal on top of it ?
