hi, i'm in the middle of a megajolt conversion on a pinto.

 

I've used an old dizzy for exactly the same purpose and I've cut it down so that the only thing on show is about half an inch of drive-shaft (and body) poking out if the block.

 

I was just going to cap the end of this shorten dizzy stem to stop dirt getting in.

 

Just wondered what your plans are????

Hi,

Neil great thanks will get in touch.

I like the idea of mounting my coil pack onto the top of the dizzy so the plug leads run the same as now, not sure how yet as I need to have a play

 

Did you have to add another bearing to keep the shaft supported when you cut it down?

 

Cheers

There is already a bronze bearing at the bottom of the dizzy just above the drive gear. I've cut the drive shaft so the it passes through the bearing and only protrudes by about half an inch.

 

With the other end of the shaft connected to the oil pump the shaft should be supported enough (fingers crossed!!)
