I have a brand new 440 Distributor but I have had a couple years and MSD won't exchange it for me. Larry Last edited by Moparlar; 04/01/10 11:59 AM.

I already have a brand new MSD that was for my older 440 and now I am building a 400 stroker so I would like to use the new distributor unless someone would like to trade. LArry

The adapter will need to go onto a lathe and the base of the distributor will need some shaving. The adapter fits the MP distributor and stock type distributor because they use a bushing on the bottom.

The price on the adapter kit had gotten so expensive from Mopar that it was almost cheaper to just buy a new distributor. Custom Wire has new distributors out now and so does 440Source.

But I don't think anyone can pay the overhead and labor to do it for double that now-a-days. For an MSD distributor, the thru hole needs to be around 1.525", and the radius is a concern.
