ABSTRACT:
A converter kit for use in converting a stock vehicle engine to drive the distributor assembly from the front rather than the rear end of the engine camshaft thereby to provide improved synchronization between the crank shaft and distributor, particularly at higher engine speeds. The kit includes a main body casting securable across the front end of the engine and having a drive connection extending through a stock camshaft cover into a drive coupling secured to the front end of the camshaft. The engine distributor is transferable directly from its original support housing into a vertically disposed receiving well of the converter casting. The support brackets for the converter casting include cooling fluid passages across the outer ends thereof adapted to be sandwiched between the stock cooling fluid pump flow passages and the engine cooling passages. The kit includes auxiliary accessories usable to drive the oil pump independently of the distributor and to drive the cooling fluid pump from a drive pulley mounted further forwardly of the engine crank shaft.
