The link I posted for the GM melonized gear will not fit an 11mm shaft!:yikes: I really doubt the "off-shore ~ $$ Cheap" aftermarket TBI distributors will install a melonized gear, considering the melonizing process was most likely not an OEM spec back in the day? Most likely GM would use different distributor shaft sizes to keep melonizied / non-melonized gears from getting on the production line for engines needing / not needing melonizied gears?
