I did install the Allison aluminum flywheel. I've not had any driveability issues with it. In fact, I've found on all the cars I've restored or modified, installing light flywheels and light road wheels are one of the most effective performance mods. This is particularly true for a light car like the Scorpion. That's why I installed 13" magnesium wheels on the car. They may lack bling, but the difference between those and 14'" or 15" wheels is dramatic. Here's some work I did in my college days on rotating inertia of wheels: here

Is there an advantage to the distributor being spun from the end of the cam as pictured? I noticed BEEK did the same on his build. I know the Euro Betas & Ritmos had this configuration, just don't know what's up with that.
What has been eliminated in this set-up is the potential slop in the gear drive off the cam in the original distributor arrangement.
