We're all in trouble now, you learned how to make the letters RED or did you cut and paste my RED ?

How about one of these and just change the gear. Bet you could not get yours rebuilt for that price

If you've found a marine LH distributor for a 351w, then the only thing needed to convert it for a RH engine is the gear. Everything else is the same.

If your old gear is still good, you can remove it from the old shaft and put it on the replacement distributor.

The Mallory shaft takes a .531 inch ID gear so you want whatever you might be thinking of buying to have the same shaft size.

A Mallory or Prestolite for a 351W have the same shaft size, but something like a Pertronix distributor for a 351W has a .500 inch shaft and AAA marine , who you referenced may or may not have a .500 inch gear in stock.

You should check the depth of the gear when installing it, you can find info on installing a 351W gear on the internet or ask here and you'll get pointed in the right direction

I guess what you do depends on how much you want to spend

I have a 1974 Southwind with a 351 Ford with reverse rotation (RH) engine. It has a Mallory YL554FV, the distributor has failed due to broken parts and I can not seem to find a source for a replacement. From what I have read right hand distributor are not available anymore new. I have found new and used left hand distributor’s, and AAA Marine makes a right hand gear that would convert a Mallory to a right hand. In reading post here I am confused as to whether I can convert a left hand distributor to a right hand distributor properly. I have also posted in the wanted section hoping someone would have a old distributor. Any help on this for distributor’s or parts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
