The distributor really shouldn’t be that hard to turn. JMHO. I have seen one, on one of my 390’s, where it was almost impossible to turn by hand. I took it apart, cleaned and lubed the shaft and bushings, it freed up nicely. Hopefully one of the builders on the forum will second my opinion.

They weren't super hard to turn just seemed to take a fairly good amount of force for them to turn. I have checked other one's in the past and they were about the same.
I was just wondering about how much HP they would take to turn one and if there was any way to lower the turning force.
I will disassemble the one I use and clean and lube anyway.
