8BA Distributor- Full Race Flathead, All dressed up but can’t go to the dance ,
… I received no Distributor with a used 8BA I bought with only 3k miles, according to the Machine Shop Bill it was Bored 30 over Ross Pistons & Rods & MCF Stroked 4 ¼” it has a Potvin super full race street grind 375 lift 280 duration, It came with a Offy 2x2 intake & Edelbrock 9.2-1 Heads. My question is until I can find an old Mallory flat cap can an original 8BA load-a-matic be converted to use for the vacuum needed? I really can’t bring myself to use a converted chevy and drill holes in the timing chain cover.
Thanks for any help , Ric
