vortec distributor

Is it possible to use one of the crab type distributors on a gen 1 engine. Is the length of the shaft or something different.

Re: vortec distributor

The inside of the dist is basically a hall effect switch. The guts inside won't do you any good. It is basicly like a crank trigger setup for a race engine. There are no advances in there

Re: vortec distributor

Yes it will fit. However as hugger6933 mentioned, that distributor won't do you any good without the PCM and all the sensors to make it all work.
