Offering for sale this specialized MSD Ignition Distributor Gear Installation, Removal, and Alignment Fixture Tool Set.
If you are converting your classic V8 engine to a modern hydraulic roller camshaft, you know that setting the correct distributor gear stack height, vertical endplay clearance, and drilling the new roll-pin hole square is impossible without a heavy-duty alignment fixture. This shop tool lot gives you the foundational machining blocks to clamp, locate, and pin distributor shafts safely without marring the billet aluminum housings.
