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.

Are people willing to pay $60-70 bucks for them anymore??? I mean there are all sorts of options for B deck distributors anymore.

Maybe you can have someone turn a spacer on a lathe.

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.

I know, but I figured you could make that yourself.

Yea, Setting up a custom, one off (less than 1000) part machining operation is expensive. Back in the day, the MP price around $50 was good. 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. FWIW, attached.

Is it an old MP part? What diameter is the hole in the center? (1-1/8, 1-1/2, etc)
