Why that question, one might ask?
We make distributors for a marine engine company (they also fit Chevy small blocks) and we recently received a complaint that the distributor shaft was "harder to turn."
I can run durability testing on the distributors in question and put some maximum allowable breakaway torque value on the product data sheet but I can't help but wonder if there is actually some maximum allowable value out there from the engine designer.
