Warning! If that distributor is going in a reverse rotating motor, it needs special thrust bearings to withstand the upward force that is developed.

We've been down this road with a few aftermarket distributor techs by now, so they SHOULD know what we want.

Is the thrust bearing on the seat or inside the shaft?

My engine turns counter and I heard these were good ones:

I think I need the spacer machined, if my memory serves me right.
