I installed a new Accel Distributor PN 59132 in my L29 a few months ago. It actually works BUT it sure has a very narrow and tight installation window. There's literally only 1 gear tooth that works but even this one tooth provides a marginal fit at best. Here's what I mean ----If the dizzy is stabbed into the cam on one side of the tooth the dizzy's 3-pin electrical connector ends up rubbing hard against the fuel pressure regulator. If on the otherhand the dizzy is stabbed into the cam on the other side of this same tooth the dizzy's cap plug wire #8 winds up being smashed up against the passenger's side upper intake plenum. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard spot!
Has anyone experienced the same issue with this Accel #59132 dizzy on a L29?
I've thought about removing the dizzy's drive gear, rotating it 180 degrees, and reinstalling it. I believe this change would effectively phase the rotor 1/2 tooth forward (13.84 degrees) and thereby afford a "wider/different" installation window.
Thoughts?
