Buick distributor for a Citroen SM / 3 liter Maserati engine...

This is a Buick distributor installed on a Citroen SM / 3 liter Maserati engine (Visit my blog for more details). The video was shot right after installation without any tune up; even the carbs are not synchronized. Please forgive the video quality and sounds; this was shot with a regular digital camera.

Thanks for watching,

Very creative and smart! Please advise if the distributor is a direct bolt in or if changes where made. The Citroen and Maser ( I own) have many interchangable parts. Anyway of serviving the hydraylics easier and w/more reliability? Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for the delay of my response.

The distributor is machined to fit the C114 engine. When it comes you have to remove the gear from the Maserati distributor to fit it onto the Buick distributor. You have to make sure that the up and down play of the shaft is correct (With shims). This setup works great and is more reliable than the 123.

Regarding the Hydraulic, I'm sorry I don't understand your question.

Happy motoring,

Phil.

Does the pre ignition advance curve of that GM Distributor really fit ?
