Default MSD dist for cam reference problems
Howdy,
I have a FAST classic on my Turbo Buick V-6 and I am using a MSD 8551 dist. for cam signal. MSD does not make a reluctor phasing kit to adjust it, any ideas to make this work?

Mag distributor as a cam sync only. Break all teeth off of the reflector then take roll pin out and throw away. Drill an tap two 6-32 set screws opposite of each other so you c an tighten it on the shaft. Re-install reluctor put c clip back on. Now you can phase the reluctor separate from the rotor.

thanks for the help Brian. I installed the MSD phasable rotor and it worked great. I have my base timing set on the FAST at 20 deg. at idle and i double checked it with a timing light and it said 18 deg. how do i correct this, or do i need to?

Move the crank reference angle by 2 degrees and they should match.
