I can't lay hands on any 2.3 distributors for measurements on short notice, but if no one else gets back to you I can get one in a day or so, all my 2.3 stuff is at my co-worker's house since he's building a mini-stock.
I have (will have, had, etc) a Mallory single-point distributor.

It's a model # YL-679A

The guy who is returning it to me said it doesn't fit his '89 OMC motor.

While I do notice that the drive gear may have less teeth than an automotive, I can't be sure until it's back in my hands again.

Mallory says it fits Ford 2.3's, it's a Marine distributor because of the spark screen, etc. etc.

Maybe it's time to visit the auto parts store and see if they have any 2.3 dizzies in stock to compare.

I appreciate the attempt at measurements, if you can, please do that without putting yourself out.

thanks!
