I did the same thing with the Delco mag replacer only I used a 4 cyl Chevette HEI short cap distributor for our puller DC. Turned the base to match the old dist. and slid the drive gear on and with the thin thrust washers off the old distributor the roll pin hole was even right. I did remove the vacuum advance and made the pickup plate stationary and did work on the advance weights to increase the mechanical advance for pulling. Very trouble free distributor.

I have used many in stock and performance applications and all work well if the rest of the tractor system is up to par.

Once this happens the cap is junk. Don't ask me how I know!!
