Hey Eddie ,
Gary is incorrect in stating that the speedo drive pinion in the
Distributor stand needs or has to be plugged .The drive pinion also has
a seal
that seals it in the stand . I assume most Roadster owners don't even
know that it exists .This is the Real reason for "Oil Creep " in the Tach
cable that ends up on your clothes ,when it leaks out of the Tach in the
car (Same problem with the Speedo Head too) . The Electric tach and
speedo gives you the benefit of no more ruined clothes and cables to buy
:-) . With a Good seal ,it shouldn't be a real problem .
The speedo and tach cable seals are secondary to the pinion seals .Both
seals are the same part number . You could however try to plug the Stand
with who knows what sized plug or cap if you can even find something to
fit .You could make it totally irreversible by welding up the pinion
carrier and removing the pinion or making a cap device by TIG welding
the aluminum end fitting of a tach cable to cap it .
