Looking for a used MSD either 85551 or 85561 distributor. I only need the housing and shaft. If you have one with bad pickup that would be perfect. I don't need a cap or rotor either. Let me know what you have and are willing to give up in the Inexpensive range.

Thanks!
Dick

Dick are you looking for one to turn into a cam sensor for the megasquirt?

Yes I am.. Have anything for me???

I think I have one. I will take a look sometime this weekend . Dealing with blizzard now.

Dick, this is what I am going to use on my Megasquirt build. Its a camshaft pickup that was used on 1999-2000 chevy P30 trucks. The part numbers are PC277 or 1104068 or 213-350 I am using this because it is low profile and i dont have to mess with altering a distributor cap to cover it.

For the crank pickup I am using a Holley 556-103 Universal BB Chevy crank sensor mounting kit It uses OEM sensors and seems pretty simple.

Unfortunately EFI Connection does not make a crank pickup similar to the OEM that would fit a Mark IV block with out major work to the front timing cover.

If neither of these work, I have a GM branded MSD distributor lying around for you.

Any Idea what gear is on that unit? I need a cast iron gear to be compatible with my cam gear. I like that unit, was hoping to find an MSD so I can mod it for my use, knowing the 8531 gear is cast iron. Just found my cam gear toasted..
On the Crank Sensor I was thinking of the DIY unit with their toothed wheel and sensor.. Just have to make a bracket for it. Let me know what dist you have If you would please!
Thanks

Tom, after the snow clears let me know what you have.. Thanks!
