Yep, me too.

 

Yeah I've seen those, I was looking in to them if I couldn't find anything

 

Get one, easiest way to do it. Sell the MSD, you may break even. It is a small OD shaft (.427) so if you need a bronze gear for a roller cam order one of those also.

 

It looks like they sell the gears now . Bronze and Melonized

 

Anyone make a tall deck version?

 

I would think you can take this one apart, put the housing in a lathe, and cut that square area off and put a slip collar on it.

I had to put a slip collar on both versions I have for my SBC RR heads.

I have the billet version of this one which they have stopped selling after it cost me an engine. I was able to fix it to stop that from happening again. Really nice piece, just poorly designed in one area.

 

i saw that they stopped selling the billet version also.

i see they only have one version now. is this really the best option for EFI cam sync? or is a modified MSD pro billet unit better?

i kinda want a drop in cam sync dist., preferably with an adj. collar but the EFI connection one isn't quite drop in.

 

perhaps this setup?

Damn ........ $$$$$$

I did the entire CNP setup for that .

 

I have a small diameter msd distributor that the rotor came apart on and damaged it so I was going to gut it . I also have the crank trigger distributor that I was going to sell

 

I still run a procharger accessory bracket so I just had a custom spacer made .

 

The pic was taken before the crank trigger was installed . In the first pic I posted , you can see the step in the spacer for the wheel .

But yea, you can just space the brackets .

 

so is the EFI Connection piece the best option for a distributor driven cam sync for Holley EFI on a BBC? I was hoping they had something more robust but i guess its better than the billet one they discontinued selling. Will the .427 diameter drive fit the ARP oil pump drive?

The drive tang for the oil pump is the same.

I just mentioned the smaller diameter shaft in case you want to buy a new bronze geaer so you don't buy a "normal" .500 gear only to have to send it back and get the right size. Been there done that.

While the version they sell isn't "pretty", it works just fine. The sensor in it is available at any auto parts store so in case you break it somehow you don't have to worry about finding another one. They really won't go bad, but when people install.pull and engine with the distributor installed it can hit the firewall and possibly break the sensor.

You may need to take it all apart and get the square mounting area turned in a lathe to make the entire body round and use an MSD adjustable slip collar to get it ready for your application.

GM made that square mounting setup so they could just drop the thing in an engine and not worry about getting it lined-up correctly, the body could not turn. We need to rotate the body to get the pickup where we need it in relation to TDC.

 

I also read that i can get cam sync by cutting off 7 of the 8 teeth in my existing MSD Pro Billet distributor. Would this method be better/worse than the EFI connection set-up?

 

Yes!

It is cheaper since you already own it.

Not as nice because you have a magnetic pickup instead of a hall effect, but if you aren't using the cap anymore with high voltage up there, shouldn't be an issue, plus you have a cap sitting there with terminals pointing-up and nothing connected to them, will have people asking questions...........

It will certainly work though!

EFI Connection only sells the regular GM unit now, they don't have the billet version anymore. They had a special cover made for it (unless GM actually used it on something) so it is a nice clean install. I think the only downside is setting the phasing of the shutter wheel. GM never intended that unit to be able to move, the hold-down on it is special. I had to take mine apart and put it on a lathe to remove their hold down area and make it circular so I could use a normal distributor hold down clamp and be able to spin it to where it needed to be.

Not sure what others have gone-through. I also have raised-runner heads so I would have had to modify it for a slip collar no matter what.
