    as long as its in one piece I can use it, happy to cover shipping, etc. I'm trying to get an EDIS ignition setup to go with an EFI system and I need a junk timing cover to prototype the trigger wheel and VR setup. Happy to share the setup info once its all done

    thanks!

    I just disassembled a 430 and had to do some damage to get this cover off. The distributer is still stuck in the hole. I will look at it and see whats left for you if you are interest.

    I have one that is clean from my '72 electra, waterpump bolt holes are messed-up but you can have it for shipping.
    I live in san jose ca. so not too far.
    let me know if you want it.
    thanks

    Hey Mike, I've seen you over on the megasquirt message board too. I'm a fellow megasquirter but I have it on my turbo camaro.
    But I'm definatly interested in what you come up with for ignition on your 455. Keep us updated! :TU:

    just an update on the EDIS setup.

    I got Brian over at Boost Engineering a cover and a HB for him to setup a 36-1 wheel and a VR sensor, but he didn't have the time to get it together. He does sell EDIS parts, real attractive pricing : http://home.earthlink.net/~beanbooger/boost_engineering/

    In the meanwhile it turns out that NAPA sells both a generic 36-1 wheel and a VR sensor. I'm picking up the 36-1 wheel tomorrow, my guess is that it will need some machining to mount to the balancer. looks like it may move the pulleys out about 3/16"

    Part numbers:
    ECHLIN CSS304 (camshaft interupter), $10
    ECHLIN CSS411 (vr sensor), $23.

    available online or via your local parts house
