Re: Ronning 8BA style distributor on 59A
I'm afraid so. Your and my biggest problem is the choice of generator brackets and intakes. Set the generator height so the belt misses the bottom of the distributor. Then shim the generator out to miss the body.. You learn by your mistakes.

Hi Ron
Another thought, lenghten distributor housing and shaft to clear belt.
Bruce

Works good
Lasts long time
