distributor gear bottom to block clearance?

[Jim Comet]

I called MSD this morning and they had the parts in stock (shaft, bearing, seal and shims). just under 70 bucks for all and said I should have it next Tuesday. Jim

Pretty sure MSD show a reluctor on their website.

On the 8580 it is welded to the shaft.  Not separately replaceable.  Have to have the entire shaft.

>My point is that MSD has some real internal issues and it seems really hard to get an intelligent response from them.

They are part of the Holley group and having been part of mergers and acquisitions in the past, that's not unusual - but still not acceptable.  Maybe I ran into the same deal - will have to try again.
