You can buy the MSD and run it solid (no welding required) or you can find an old lean burn distributor in a wrecking yard and run it. If you have a Jesel belt drive on the motor you can also run a Jesel belt drive distributor. That is what I finally did and it really helped clean up the ignition. 5858772-505_Jesel.jpg (1267 downloads)

Been using one on a S/G roadster for 9 years and it's still rock steady. You can buy one rebuilt from a autoparts store. Last edited by supercomp; 03/11/10 04:28 PM.

Talk to Todd Ryden at MSD or call the guys at Custom Wire Sets or Brandon at 440Source. ProComp makes a distributor so that would be another place to call or Crane or Mallory. Someone out there should be interested in building a dead simple distributor with just a shaft, rotor, housing and cap.

Andy I am running a Jesel belt drive, I did not think you could run a front mount water pump with the front mount distributor. I see you have one in the picture. Who makes that pump? Thanks guys for the replies, I appreciate it. Galen Last edited by galen; 03/11/10 11:13 PM.

I made my own bracket and used a longer belt to make it fit. The motor plates that I make are designed to work with the special distributor bracket. (I have some of these parts for sale if you're interested as I've moved on to some different projects) 5859739-wp307.jpg (448 downloads)

Some guys don't want to run a reverse flow water pump so this is the setup for them. Others want a reverse flow water pump. I make kits for both applications. 5859758-manifold_pump.jpg (566 downloads)
