Shim Kits
Shim kits are sets of thin, flat pieces of material used to adjust the spacing or clearance between components in various mechanical systems. In the context of distributor shim kits, these shims are specifically designed to fine-tune the height or position of the distributor within the engine block. By adding or removing shims, technicians can achieve proper alignment and engagement of the distributor gear with the camshaft gear, ensuring optimal ignition timing and engine performance. Distributor shim kits typically include shims of different thicknesses to provide precise adjustment capabilities.

When selecting the correct distributor shim kit for your engine, it's important to consider factors such as engine make, model, and distributor type. Different engines may require specific shim kits to accommodate variations in distributor mounting configurations and clearances. Additionally, assessing the condition of the existing distributor shims and identifying any signs of wear or damage can help determine the appropriate shim kit needed for replacement or adjustment.
