RE: On the last ARDUN I built just over a year ago the client wanted to run a Vertex Scintillia right angle mag drive the engine is now in an untouched Hotrod built in 1949 lots of patina and history as well. The build was on a 59A block I discovered the right angle Vertex drive angle produced a problem where the mag body is directly in the way of the water pump pulley.

There are different Vertex angle drives - with different clocking angles on them. I've seen some that really clock the mag over toward the Driver's side - probably designed for a race-only application and a V8-60. I probably have 3 different configurations in the various angle-drives I have.
