So I'm only using my distributor for the pickup that is inside it since I have the Autronic SM4 EMS and the Jetta 1.8T individual coils. Yesterday I took off the distributor cap and rotor to see if I can modify my current cap so most of the distributor cap is out of the way. If I hack it up and seal it off with silicone and a round plastic disk then it might look a little bad, but it will still mount and be the correct size. I've also thought about finding a clear plastic cup that is a hair over 3" and hacking it up, but then heat becomes an issue. I really want to get this bulky distributor out of the way. Does anyone have any ideas other than what I mentioned?

Its getting the equipment which poses the problem. actually a friend of mine has access to a CNC. Hmm, I might ask him how much it would cost for him to machine me one. Otherwise I was just going to round out one of the mount holes so that I can flip it upside down, then just start shaving off plastic, shorten it, and epoxy a round disk from the inside to cover the hole. There is an OEM one you can use from a camry or something. Look on MR2oc. But once you remove the distributor, youll need a way to get a crank/cam signal. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
