Jack. U do NOT need a longer shaft. The gear can be pushed up the shaft 3/8 to 7/16 inch. About 3/32" will have to be cut from the top of the locator dowel or the locator dowl bored out a little bigger to allow room for the wobble joint sleeve to drop down into the dowel a little bit.

Mock it up with a gear pushed up onto the shaft and u'll see well it works. PLENTY of room for this movement at the distributor end too. I did it 8 years ago and it ran fine.

I assume u eleminated the vacuum pump??? I'm thinking there is a way to keep the vac pump AND have a lower bushing to.
