I just took a new shaft and a new Accel distributor by hand and fit them together, and there was not very much play if you held the shaft and tried to turn the distributor back and forth.
When I measure,
I get .151" - .154" across the outside of the flats for the distributor.
And about .158" for the inside of the slot for the distributor gear.
Thank you Karl for those measurements. I will pull mine out and mic mine to find out where mine are at. Just from your measurements that you gave me, mine feels a lot more sloppy than .004-.007 thousandths.
So I was looking at the MP intermediate shafts on Summit Racing. They have the standard one for about $60 and a bronze one for over $200. Why the big difference and when would you use a bronze gear?
