Default For those who are running a front distributer

I bought the front cover and acess. to run a distributer on my 408. Curious if any of you know what balancer to run and if there is a electric water pump I can also use or will I have to build spacers for a regular one?? Thanks for any help.

why would anyone buy this when you can buy an ignition box that runs the coils for 320 dollars?

Because you cannot run a Digital 7, 7531 box with the 6010 or 6012 box.

Individual cylinder retards also with the Digital 7 stuff.

In the instructions from GMPP they list the part number for the ATI Balancer.

I used Mezzere water pump with spacers from Wegner Motorsports.

You will need to fab a bracket to run an alternator since the stack is all different.

Default water pump spacers

I have a set of meziere water pump spacers for a front distributor drive LS motor. I think they are 2 7/8 long. You need the spacers for the water pump to clear the front cover. $40 including shipping. (SOLD)
