5.0 efi distributor vs 302 distributor

[FullRace]

doing a carb swap on an 88 5.0, and the efi distributor has about a 1/2 longer shaft for more engagement on the oil pump driveshaft. Every other distributor we have has the shorter shaft, and I am not sure if we should run it or not. summit lists 5.0 distriubtors from 1968-2001 with no differences, same with oil pump driveshafts. i doubt a roller block has different dimensions.

Did you ever figure out why one distributor is almost a 1/2 difference. I'm having the same issue.

Probably not going to get an answer. They were last on 12 years ago. Click on their name and see activity. Just an fyi.
