Huh, is that a common thing on the Chryslers? Not that I've dealt with alot of RH rotating Chev engines but I've only ever seen gear drives in the these models along with the starter mounted in the bell housing as opposed to under the engine block.
Learned somthing new. Its a good day.

"Cook Engine" in Portland Oregon has been building marine engines for two generations and is the preferred engine builder in the northwest, this is who I deal with, they can give you any info or ship any parts you need.

As there is a gear on top of the camshaft to reverse direction for distributor drive, the reverse engine needs a spacer to lift the common distributor up as it mates with this extra gear.
