Hi Andy, thanks, it was just a convenient way of maintaining oil pump drive. I would have converted my original distributor except that it is in poor condition. I have a relatively new Mallory Unilite, but I would be reluctant to chop it.
A second hand distributor is an option.
For your system, I guess that you just need a distributor shaft? It looks like you have put ball bearings in a machined boss so my old distributor shaft might do it, with a new gear as the old one is trashed.
Hi Julian, thanks for your kind offer, I will let you know if I want to do that.
Dave
