I picked up a parts engine with a second distributor for my 215 and while 
rebuilding both of them, one broke off just under the point mounting surface 
leaving the shaft, so I cut it off flush and put a collar where the gear had been, 
then a thick "O" ring on top to hold it up, and when installed it centers it 
self and there is just enough shaft sticking out the top that a drill chuck 
fits on just right,

And if I use a distributor less ignition, it will bolt in flush and I just 
use a washer to hold the top seal in place reinstall the oil pump drive gear and 
I'm good to go.

I'll bet I could fabricate up a cam sensor on top of the bit of shaft 
sticking out of the top for timing rather than a crank sensor!
