Im installing a french block motor with a delco dizzy. 8BA timing cover. I had a 1/4-20 bolt tapped into the shaft housing for a hold down. this isn't gonna do it. There is a flat on the head adjacent but no hole for any sort of attachment device. This metal the block is made of is pretty stout stuff. I have to tap some holes for the oil filter and I'm afraid I'll break a tap in the hole. Any suggestions on what I need?
We never use the POS Loadamatic Ford distributor, even on a manure spreader engine. The external point adjustment Delco or electronic makes life much easier. 8BA timing cover prepped Dist machined: Installed:
I have a timing cover modified like the one in the picture,free if you want it.also have a aluminum cover off of a mercury I think? email tfain@centurytel.net
