Eric -
I am really interested in one of these for both my BN1 and A90 Atlantic
(same engine).
Is the four cylinder version suitably set up where I can attach the disty
drive shaft onto the bottom of the 123 disty? It's fixed on with a drift
pin. You can see what the disty drive shaft looks like here (and where the
drift pin holds it together):

and here you can see what length of shaft is needed on the bottom of the
disty to attach the disty drive shaft:

Will this set up work with the 4 cyl. 123 Ignition?
Thanks,
Alan
