Hughes Engines Distributor Shaft Collar

[Pro Street dart]

The thing works great. Timing used to jump 3-4°'s  when I set the initial timing, now it's rock steady.

I`ve used those for years , Ed Hamburger 's For 340`s/360`s  Only used to sell them . A rod coupling will also work.
Well worth the effort to install .

Do they seem to add any wear to the distributor?

No, They just keep end play from effecting timing.
I bought collars from a local brg supply. Same thing and only a couple $$$ each,

Are these needed for race motors only? Will motors that spin under 6K benifit from this also?
