Hi Joe,
I used an Eldo lower distributor housing and the Convert's drive gear on
my conversion. The inner diameter of both lower housings is the same,
the only difference is the diameter of the shoulder that fits into the
engine case. With either lower housing and a late distributor gear
you'll need to remove the gear in order the separate the upper housing
from the lower. Cheers,

I'd like to play around with the advance curve on my bike. I've found a guy who has an old automotive distributor machine & is willing to help out. Anybody have a spare distributor they could part with? I'd also like to get a dist. bracket from an Eldo (the tubular aluminum casting that bolts to the block and to which the distributor slides into). Since I'm using a converted T-Bike engine, I had to use the larger drive gear from the dual point dist. I'm presently using an Ambo bracket that has a smaller hole, which prevents pulling the dist easily-the drive gear doesn't pass through the hole. The Eldo bracket has a larger I.D. which allows the dist. to be pulled from the engine by removing the single 6mm bolt that holds it to the bracket (the one you loosen to adjust the timing). If anybody can help with either of these items, please let me know. I have a pile of parts that I'm willing to trade, or if you want cash, tomatoes, whatever, maybe we can strike a deal! Give me a call (314)232-3617 or email me at jumpjg (at) hotmail (dot) com. Thanks for your help!!! Joe in St Louis T-Bike powered '72 Ambo "Junkyard" |
