Distributor block off

Guys that have gone DIS, are you just cutting down your dizzy to keep the oil pump spinning or are you buying something special ?

Re: Distributor block off

http://m.ebay.com/itm/261030046838?_mwBanner=1I know the lt1 oil pump drive has a hold down so I'm not sure if it can be adapter to a older sbc.
A L31 truck cam position sensor to block the hole is another option.

I'd need something with the drive build into the blockoff.

I'm tempted to just cut down a distributor but I wanted to see if members were doing something else first.

Pete Jackson use to make a plug / oil pump drive for the sbc distributor relocation kit that was driver off the front of the cam.

You can allways mill down the housing pin the shaft on the top were the reluctor is, cut the shaft down and instal a expansion plug upside down. Just account for distributor end play when drilling and installing a washer for a roll pin on the top of the drive shaft.
