Bob,
That looks interesting how Edis8 works with the missing tooth on the wheel, and a good old Ford part. Jac Mac maybe a fan of those probably not that accessible in NZ like you can pick up at the wreckers in the US. Yes I haven't really got the room for the DUI etc and need a lower profile.
I received an email from ICE he is adamant that his distributors don't need the spigot as they have done all these tests with the Engine Masters etc and never given a problem, it would be interesting to have a camera inside the engine when running a high volume
oil pump and see the shaft deflection, and if the gears moves off the camshaft.
If I send the dist. back he will do a custom shaft job and join a larger shaft to the existing shaft. I have decided to go that way and keep the ignition system due to the good results in the field. Although there was probably not that much wrong with MSD as there are many happy customers and they have a rep for good service, like this chap in Aussie.
I think the problem with ICE might be the low volume Ford market doesn't warrant a dedicated windsor distributor so he is making one product work with the Aussie cleveland small shaft getting the better deal.
