Running without distributor - problem?
Running without distributor - problem?
Since fitting MegaJolt, my distributor is redundant. I had left it in place but have now just removed it to mount the coilpack there - is this likely to cause problems with the oil pump? I've plugged the hole but don't know if there are loose components down there now. What do you EFI guys do?

Re: Running without distributor - problem?
You have to remove the distributor drive. Use small flat nosed (expanding type)snap ring pliers to lift it out or you will damage crank gear. Oil pump is gear driven off back of crankshaft.
You would be better off to mount your coil pack to the body(less heat and no vibration).

Thanks, Jim. I'd thought about mounting it to the body but the only convenient place was right above the exhaust manifolds and I thought there'd be even more heat there. My current HT leads aren't long enough to reach any further, otherwise I'd try to mount it where the old coil is.
Do you have any photos of where you've mounted your coil packs?

Re: Running without distributor - problem?
Silence is golden and all that. Had a look at your EFI install pics on the website and have moved my coil pack to roughly the same place.
Have removed the distributor drive/spring and plugged the hole again. Once I get my lathe back up and running I'll do a better job of the plug (waiting for a 3-phase inverter and motor to be delivered this week)
