    On my old 277 poly, I use to have a 318 LA mallory unilite....
    If I remember correctly, you must change the oil pump drive shaft!

    Hope this help..

    I've got a Mopar Performance Electronic dizzy from a LA318 on my poly 318 and it fitted straight on. The early polys are different to the 318's tho cos they have a separate valley cover, maybe the centerline of crank to top of block is lower which could be if Cheaters Pete changed his oil pump drive, or you may have to shorten the dizzy shaft.

    Gary Pavlovich is on here sometimes and he's the poly guru!!
