Re: [AMC-list] Chevy I6 ... Re: Does anyone sell a 258 distributor rebuild kit?

I knew the rotor turns clockwise on both, but I'm surprised that the distance between the gear and mounting surface is the same for both the AMC and GM  dizzys.

i'm sure ken meant to say the *cam* tuens opposite b/c of the gear vs.
chain.  the *dist* turns the same way, hence the need for different
drive gears.

any of the '63-up 194/230/250/292 up to when they started going
electronic, '74 iirc.

i may add i also did an hei swap, on my 199, and it only took my old
delco points dist gear and chevy wires to drop in.  it was a j/y dist
from a 250 and i put near 50k on it before i retired the car.
