WTB Tach Drive Distributer
Im looking for a good ( or Rebuildable ) Distributer for my wife's 58 I am planning on converting it over to petronics so points & condenser arn't importent just good shape
Thanks
JJ
I am still trying to talk her into a MSD distributor saying it would be hidden by the shielding

Jeffery,
Your title says "wtb tach drive distributor" but I thought a`58 had an electric tach? I have a real nice tach drive for a`62-327/340hp if your interested $175+UPS ready to drop in. I do have a few others if you care to e-mail me direct. redvetracr

On a 58 the tach was driven off of the generator. It wasn't until 62 that the tach drive distributer became standard. I have the tach drive generator, brackets, distributor and cable that were incorrectly put on our 62 if you are interested.

I believe the HP motors were Distributer drive
The fuel injected motors.
I still may have something. I will get back with you.

Re: WOW (Jeffery Jenner)
I think that you are misunderstanding,the tachs except for the red line are all the same the difference is that on a fuel injection car the tach is driven off of the distributor on the carb cars the generator drives the tach, the drivecables are basically the same thing

Re: WOW (Jeffery Jenner)
Jeffery,
I have two distributors that you may be able to use.
Here are the numbers and the info that I know about them.
1112150 3B27.....used on small blocks 1973-1974...this one built Feb. 1973.
1111926 8J23......used in 1969 for 390 and 400 HP 427 Big Blocks. Built late 1968. This one has a MSD cap and Rotor, and what appears to be fairly new internals
Let me know if you are interested.
