Does anyone know or sell the lopsided spacer needed to put a rear HEI distributor on a LT1 intake for a LT1 intake conversion? I would just rather buy one that I know would work than having to go have a machine shop try to make one.

I went with Ford Edis missing tooth ignition system and built an oil pump drive. Worked well. the swap is like a labor of love however necessary to get under the hood of my Porsche 944

Can you elaborate on the "Ford Edis missing tooth ignition system"? I've never heard of it, but people are always looking for a cheap opti-spark alternative.

Sure! From the research i have done I was given the impression it is a very bulletproof system. 36-1 missing tooth wheel on the front, Ford Wrecker magnetic pickup, module and coils. The wheel I picked up on e-bay for about $35.00 and the rest of the stuff I got from the wreckers for $20.00. In a limp mode it goes back to 10 degrees advance however I am using "Tuner Studio" for software on my lap-top and find it works nice. I figure I have about $1000 in fuel and Ignition with the LT1 on a SBC with the Megasquirt, factory ford stuff, new wires and wideband controller. Welded on an old distributor to make an oil pump drive. LT1 drives are made of plastic and when the hold down tab breaks you lose oil pressure. I wasn't crazy about mocking up the cut intake in the car and tacking the ring on. Really no more work however??

I used a Megasquirt II board and am running Megasquirt Extra code for my fuel injection and Ignition needs. A little intimidating at first however I bought a built and tested board.
