I bought one for my 63 Chevy 2 ton with the fertilizer bed on it. I
haven't installed it yet because it is a 6 cylinder and I have to stand
on my head to get the distributor out. I just pull the distributor out
and set it up on the old distributor machine and set everything while it
is out, then reinstall. Years before pertronix was available, I went
through 3 rebuilt distributors on a 292 six before finding one that
didn't have too much play in the shaft. They would install a standard
bushing on a worn shaft. I would replace the bushing with nylatron and
make it very tight. When it hit the worn spot, it loosened up and ran
great.. It was more of an art than a science. With this sorry
gasoline, pertronix is the only way to go. It is great with propane too.
