Once again I’m stumped, so I’m turning to you all for some advice!
As you know, I’ve had everything mocked up for now on the motor to my 68 as we prepare for initial start. One thing I just realized (can’t believe I never did before) is that the distributor I bought is actually a 383 distributor! Meaning the drive gear cannot engage with the oil pump drive. Uh oh
Thinking I was SOL I realized that they sell these shafts. I still have the original distributor to my car (it’s tore up and very doubtful the vacuum advance even works.) What I’m thinking, can I simply just swap the intermediate shaft out with the one from the 440 unit?
If so, do you guys have any preferred method for doing this?
