distributor and oil shaft lengths 302cid

Look in a Summit Racing catalog and look for the oil pumps there u will find the ford motorsport (a-302 & b-302) these are the two oil pump shafts you will need to look at. the a-302 is the carb shaft and the other is the EFI shaft. please check the summit book i could be wrong.

yep i see them. i bought an oil shaft for a 79 mustang 302 and turns out its the same length as the 88 EFI original. so im going to assembly the pieces another day and check again how much of the hex oil shaft actually goes into the end of the distributor. i dont think the block changed over the years as far as the length from oil pump to distributor (kind of doubt it) so i think its prob. going to be ok. i just wonder why they made the newer distributors with the extra 1/2 inch shaft length after the gear and then used the same oil shaft.....
