I am looking for an adapter drive gear for my Flathead V8 Mercury. Looking in the Ford Flathead V8 Builder's handbook 1932 - 1953 page 127 is showing the driver gear available to adapt to the 4 bolt cam as the cam I have doesn't have it . My distributor is the later style mounted side ways to the passenger side with the timing cover.Apparently you can adapt this to the cam .

Thanks!

When you get on of these check for runout, some are so mad they bind the distributor shaft.

I will have to get longer bolts to compensate for the thickness of the adapter correct.
