superooo Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 So i am prepping parts for my spfi swap and most of the links on here regarding the swap are broken or dead or lead somewhere else. I need to know the proper orientation of the gear from my ea81 disty on my spfi disty shaft, ive read about people consistently ending up "1/2 tooth off" and i would like to avoud that if possible. Should the new hole be in line with the original or perpendicular, anythin.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Fairly sure I kept the same orientation when I converted a carbed EA82 disty over to use in an EA81 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86BRATMAN Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 In my head, the easiest way to determine where you need to drill is going to be to get both distributors in hand. Line both up with the posts for #1 and look at the location of the gears. I haven't done one of these in about 15 years, but it seems like that's what I did.
