No Distributor

Not really, it just becomes a spacer, or you could make a spacer, but why? One day you may need that gear in an emergency situation

Oh yeah... the extra hole makes a great breather port.

you must remove it , otherwise the brass gear on the crankshaft will be destroyed

Hi, from what I have noted, the distributor drive gear, must remain. When I was buildings a friend type one, until I installed the distributor drive gear , I had excessive crankshaft end play. It took the dive gear installed in order for the end play to be set. Let me be clear, both the brass gear and distributor drive gear are needed.

He is talking about the brass gear (I hope ) The gear between dizzy and brass gear is the pinion drive gear.

Hi, thanks for the link, I am referring to the pioion drive gear. We already had the brass gear on the crank, but before installing the pinion drive gear; I was trying to adjust/setup the endplay.

I noted excessive crank endplay, after I installed the distributor drive pinion shaft/gear, I was able to adjust/set endplay.
