I'm about to start my carb swap on my 89 LX. So I have gathered, or thought so, all of my components to do a swap however after reviewing a recent YouTube video, the guy mentioned the proper "long shaft" distributor. So is this a reference to the aluminum shaft housing or the portion that extends below the gear? My steel gear distributor for a 85 manual car and it has a short shaft beyond the gear. Reference pictures online give mixed results. Can a short shaft be used?
