I have an hei distributor for a 250 ci engine to install in my 235, I keep seeing distributor modification but haven't found the modification they're talking about. Could someone explain this.

The flange where the distributor housing rests on the block is just a little too far down on the housing for the oil pump drive to engage properly. I machine it off, and fabricate a collar that's adjustable so the engagement of the drive gear and the pump drive can be adjusted properly. Mine also incorporates a squared-off spot with a bolt hole in it to use the original hold-down bolt to secure the dizzy to the block.
