About 5 years ago or better, I used to make the adapters. I started out with the one on the right but as said it would not fit the MSD dist., so I made some changes and came up with the one on the left.



I sold the adapter and hold down for $55 including shipping but it was a bust and couldn't sell enough to justify doing it anymore.

I have the set from 452RT, right in front of me as I type this. I purchased two sets for me and my bro. Very nice pieces and craftsmanship. It's too bad you don't make them anymore as they are worth every cent you were charging.

ANYONE here try just cutting and then fitting the RB shaft to fit a B engine ?

A Bud of mine in the Orlando area did just this. IIRC .. it took him about an hour with a hack-saw.



I put mine in the bridgeport and shortened the shaft. 15 minutes tops. The shaft can also be ordered from msd for a reasonable price.

Same with mp, the price really didn't have any effect on it one way or the other. It was a nice convienience item to have, but has never been a hot seller.

FYI...... you can order a "B" shaft from MSD for $35.00 and just change that. Did that on the MSD distributor for the Yellow Submarine when we changed the motor over to a low deck. Easy to do and if you ever need to go back the other way, just swap the other shaft back in!

Some of the guys that bought my adapters were using them to clear the vc's.
Just so ya all know, I am a couple years from retirement and my plans are in the near future to buy a Bridgeport, lathe and all the other goodies to start making custom parts. It will be a hobby, not a business.

Since Mopar Performance has discontinued the distributor Adapter does anyone else make it.

I have a brand new 440 Distributor but I have had a couple years and MSD won't exchange it for me.
