66 Pontiac Catalina Wagon part 96: Sensors work, and the Bent 69 doesn't

This was a rather unusual day! We got the sensors wired in and calibrated, and they seem to work, but we also received a broken car! The distributor gear on the Bent 69 broke, several teeth went AWOL and the cam ground it down. Unbelievably, we were able to get other distributors to just drop in and mesh with the cam, so we installed an HEI, made a few mods, and got the car home! Looks like that is another thing we need to deal with in the spring! New parts failing seems to be the state of automotive YouTube right now. It also turns out the timing cover is still leaking, so I guess we are just going to replace that Edelbrock one with a regular GM timing cover.
