I have done this conversion for Chad Seiva when he converted Dennis Aase's 2.5 liter IMSA car to 3.6 MFI engine for club racing. We had one hell of a time getting it to work. The only guts that fit this dist (3.6 twin rotor) were removed from a 1977 3.0 Turbo distributor. The pointless system similar to an SC had to be fabbed in. We used one trigger to operate both CDs. If memory serves me correctly, this was done back in 1987 or 88 so it's not that fresh. If this distributor is to be used on an early car, more than just slotting the hold down plate is needed. You must either change the crank gear to match the dist or the dist. gear must be changed to match the crank gear. The dist. drive gear on the 3.6 dist is not the same as the drive gear on the 2.7 and earlier.
