I was referring to the
distributor having a four lobe cam in case anyone is confused. To answer your question, I would never attempt to mount one of these by the bellhousing; I think that would be an invitation for disaster! Lucky for me, this engine was completely rebuilt when I got it. One of my next projects is to mount this on my test stand (that has standard front
and rear mounts) to get it running, and hopefully, any maintenance that it may need can be done on the test stand.
About the "gold thingies"; I get 'em wholesale
; that's almost a necessity with these distributors.
