yea, that is kinda what i did also but i wanted to know where i can get the "correct" stuff if it doesn't hold up. i got the msd adaptor pulled the little roll pin and sanded it down on the belt sander to fit the distributor, put the roll pin back in and slid them together. well the 1st time i disconnected it the brass piece had split in 2 so i silver sodered it with low temp soder and put it back together. seems to be ok for now.
