Blocking Off Dizzy and Fuel Pump Holes
I have removed the dizzy and mechanical fuel pump.
I have a plug for the dizzy hole and a block-off plate for the fuel pump hole.
Is there anything else I need to remove from the holes before I block them off? I thought I had read somewhere that I need to remove a gear or spacer
or something from the dizzy drive?
If I need to get something else out, do I need special tools?

Steve,
You should be able to remove the dizzy drive with a good set of flat nose external circlip pliers, turn the gear as you remove it, don't forget the 2
small washers on the end if the gear they usually stay in the case, use a magnet to get them out.

Thanks Dave,
I hear that if the shims/washers fall back in they can drop right down into the case, resulting in a complete tear-down.

Those big distributors work very well, but you gotta be able to count using the fingers of more than one hand to install the leads!!

I'll be glad to see the end of the carbies.
The improvement the big dizzy and twin ignition made is remarkable.
Thanks for all the tips.
