Title: 427 SOHC blower manifold question
Post by: jl7422 on January 18, 2024, 12:43:10 PM

Hello. I recently acquired a Munro SOHC blower manifold. With the magneto driven off the stub cam on the front of the motor, is a modified distributer body taking the place of a conventional distributer to drive the oil pump shaft in a wet-sump configuration?     

thanks!

       In the past we have cut down O.E.M. distributor bodies, or bought special "low-profile" bodies (stems) from MSD which we then modified, and then also just turned out our own on the lathe bodies (better as greater fitment options exist), all for the purpose of providing a drive stem-shaft for the mounting of the driven-gear and to turn the oil pump.   :)

I cut down a FE distributor housing and put a bearing in it and setscrewd in place there is not much room under the manifold, make sure You put the right gear to match the cam you are running
