251 c.i. distributor shaft
Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2011 3:56 pm
The engine on my m37 is a 251 c.i. It requires a distributor shaft that is 1/4" longer than the 230 shaft and must have an
offset tang. My engine came to me as a basket case. The correct military 251 c.i. distributor shaft should measure 5 1/2"
from the bottom of the distrib. mounting plate to end of the shaft. (The 230 shaft is 5 1/4".)
Do any of you have one of those longer shafts?
I have several 230 distributors in various states of dis-repair that I would trade. Maybe two or three 230's for one
shaft, or would be willing to buy a 251 shaft outright. The shafts are interchangeable so I don't necessarily need the distr. housing, just the longer shaft.
Please advise via this post, or PM.
Thanks,
Jerry
