Bosch 600 distributor

Post by tselliott » Fri Jan 25, 2019 12:21 am

Can someone tell me how long the sleeve is that goes behind the gear on the cam when using the Bosch 600 clip on type distributor. I believe the Bosh part number for the sleeve is 68930

Thanks,
Scott

In an earlier forum it was identified as being 1/2 inch long. I finally found some on EBAY seemed to be an odd size because of the inside diameter - 9/16. The ones I have are a bronze bushing 3/4 OD and 9/16 ID and 1/2 long. My cam shaft end had been modified by previous owner and these are a bit short but they can be easily shimmed at the end opposite of the gear which may be necessary in any case for good gear mesh. $2 ea free shipping. PM if interested

There is also an explanation on how to set it up
