I seem to recall that the newer motors will not accept a distributer
drive cam, but I can't remember the details of why. Maybe there's not
enough room for the drive gear, or something like that- sorry my memory
is foggy on this. huh? wha?
Why not use the computer ignition? It works well.
cheers,
Jason

This question is more towards the newer models, but maybe some one will know. I have a almost new (less than 300 mile from new) 1100cc Guzzi motor for sale. I have a guy who wants to put it in a eldo. I put a 86 square barrel motor in my eldo and it was not to hard. The main difference between this and what I did was the ignition, Can he just install a cam (with distributor drive) and say a T3 distributor (after he removes the distributor hole cover) and not worry about using a computer ignition system ? I noticed that Stan was running a old style distributor on his 1100 Sport BOTT racer. Is this all there is to it ?
