OK ... I see info here on using a Chev I-6 Distrib. for a late 70's early 80's. I used the 240Z on one of my patrols and have the chevfor the other. Only the chev is way too long and it seems several inches would have to be cut off while leaving a few inches of the inner shaft? Then the shaft I assume would have to be ground down to make a slot for the original gear. HAS ANY ONE DONE A CHEV DISTRIB. If so how many inches did you cut off and how many inches of the inner shaft did you leave? And how did you bolt it down. Was the firing order the Same? Can anyone give me a blow by blow instruction of how they did it. And cutting off that much, what about the oil port? This sight has good ideas but what we need is a more intensive discription on conversion of parts to keep these things on the road. I am also still working on the length of the 240Z flat metal part to match the two female ends. Its seems its all trial and error. But it seems to work with a housing I made and a tube to go over the piece of metal to keep it in place. ( I broke the plastic one that was on the distrib. So I made a metal one and pinned it where the plastic one was. But now want to try the Chev if some one has done it. Email me at [email protected]
