Yes thats how the standard stovebolt dizzys work, the aftermarket hei small and large cap ones that ive come across on ebay have the vac advance built in and dont use the factory chev vac advance/clamp bracket, the large cap version would have no hope of fitting next to the grey sideplate

This then lead me to (gasp) toyota distributors, the 2f and 3f toyota petrol engine is basically a copy of the stovebolt and some of the old school lancruiser guys are using stovebolt hei distributors in their petrol sixs, found on ebay yesterday new 2f electronic distributors for around $80-$100 they are only a low voltage dizzy that still works with a points coil though

The chevy stovebolt dizzy is somewhat taller, but the housing is also the same as a grey where it goes into the block, havnt bought one to try as yet but should work, there is two different type of stovebolt dizzys dependent on year model and cubic capacity, one has a flange to clamp to like a red motor dizzy and the other (235 type) takes a bolt on clamp like our beloved greys

Hi to all out there in fe-fc land, just wanted to share what may be some very useful information, after hunting around for hei distributor options for my cranky grey i came across new small cap hei distributors on ebay to suit the stovebolt chevy sixs, i managed to get my hands on a standard stovebolt dizzy to compare to a grey and was pleasantly suprised that the distance from the oil pump tang to the dizzy drive gear is excacly the same

All i did with mine was disconnect the white, violet and pink wires from the switch, tape up the wires coming from the switch as they were no longer needed, splice white(from brake switch) together with the pink and violet(to the brake lights) which gets the brake lights going again, then run two new wires from the light blue(left front blinker) and the dark blue(right front bliker) that come frome the switch, i also had to then run another earth wire off the back of the indicator lights in the dash or they wont blink, hope that helps

Had to make up custom pushrods to suit using 265 hemi pushrods with the grey pushrod tip machined down and inserted then silver soldered, slant 6 full flow oil fiter setup drilled and tapped into the block, made 130rwhp at about 6000rpm but was starting to pull vaccum so triples should see more power
