Thanks George.
Does anyone have a distributor drive off of one of these. I am wondering if the gears Plymouth used are the ones I am looking for.
From what I have seen, they used a right angle drive for this distributor.
Thanks Dan

I doubt you will find a useable dist. adapter as they were die cast "pot metal". A reproduction casting is offered on eBay w/o gears. eBay item # 163959079980. George

Not interested in the casting, wondering what the gears look like.
Can not find pictures on net that show gears good enough to tell. Anyone here have a Plymouth with that distributor know what gears look like. Thanks Dan

Now that I think about those points and see Jim's pic, the points and Delco distributor looks like the one in a 29 IH/Waukesha XA 222 also.
Since I lost my mind mind, I feel more liberated
