Converting from Mag to Distributor

I have a 53 VAC-14 that I am replacing the engine on. The engine I got for it was running a magneto ignition. I am going to need to change that as I want to keep the live hydraulics from the existing engine. Does anyone know how difficult it will be to swap the dity adn coil onto the other engine? I have the service and parts manual but figured experience was a lot better resource. I also know that a special hydraulic pump was an option that the mag engaged off from but I will be darned if I can find one.

Well, the engine is a 124 but was originally off a swather. The engine is a bit older as well. I already know that I have to change the gear on the pump drive (I think) because the newer ones are wider. I was more concerned actually with how to get the distributor switched over and timed correctly as this is my first time ever playing with a distributor thanks to modern electronic ignition in cars.

That's interesting, what kind of an engine are you trying to put in it that has a magneto on it. I thought all of the later VAC's had live hydraulics and distributor ignition. If it is a VAC engine I would think that the pump would bolt tight on. Jerrie
