    I have three Grant/Spalding Flamethrower distributors. Spalding #4347, Grant #004197, and Grant #05005. All have straight blade type shafts that are different lengths so I'm thinking Mopar but I'm not certain. Anybody have part or casting number info for these units? Thanks for any help!

    Need some pictures and the actual lengths. The Chryslers used a different lengh shaft on many of their engine as well as different rotations etc.
    We can convert them to fit what ever engine you need by making a new lower end..

    Looks like you have what ever you would need.
    My notes here at the shop show...
    392- at 4.5 inches
    354- at 4.25 inches
    241-264-270 at 3 7/8

    Hot heads makes a sleeve to allow you to cut and make the shaft any length you wish. Its a piece of tubing and two roll pins, seems to work just fine, as the distributor really doesnt have any load.
    Now get the one you want to me and i will set er up , sell the other one to the other hemi dude.........:D:eek:
