Distributer question

[sabre67]

Can you use a 440 distributor in a 383 B engine? Thanks

 

[BLK 68 R/T]

Yes, with the proper spacer.

 

[sabre67]

Is the 440 distributer longer?

 

[BLK 68 R/T]

Yep

Hard to believe even those are becoming scarce. Mancini is the place. To the OP; make sure you get the right one. If you are working with an MSD distributor, the adapter is a little different.

the distributor body is the same it's the shaft that's longer

I ran one for years that was originally from a 440. It had scribe marks on the shaft which matched a 383 length. My friend duplicated the milled end and cut it down to length.

It's not hard
