Called msd they say they dont make one. No go from mallory. Just curious if anybody knows who makes one or where to get one. One day I will have something cool here.

But you answered my question the use to make them. In that case anybody got one? Thanks for the info. One day I will have something cool here.

I'm sure you are right....someone changed out the base/cap from a Chevy unit to make what you have. I was going to do the same thing before I went front drive.
