Y-Guys In the past, I've asked about the dura-spark conversion,for the "Y",

and I'm now trying to do the deal using a 70's donor dist.

Steve has a couple of posts(18643 and 12500) that gives me a start

but I have a few questions, if anyone cares to chime-in and guide

me thru this.

I've disassembled both units and 1. do you use the Y weights and plate

and slide the top shaft(the part that hold the rotor) down on it?

2. If I do it this way, the shaft doesn't stick thru enough to get the clip-deal

back on.(if that is important!)

3. Do I use the advance can from the Y or the dura-spark?

4. Any and all suggestions welcome.....

Bill
