Hi Duane,

I don't have a diagram, but the explanation is pretty simple. There is an intermediate shaft that slides into the block and connects the distributor to the oil pump. The intermediate shaft has a gear that meshes with the gear machined onto the rear of the cam. If you remove your distributor, then look down the hole in the block, you should be able to see the gear about six inches below the block surface. A slot in the top of the intermediate shaft mates with the tang on the bottom of the distributor shaft. If you don't see the gear or slot, you're missing the intermediate shaft. I hope this helps.

You were right, no shaft and gear for the cam gear..

I see stock intermediate shafts and gears on ebay from time to time. Hot heads also carries stock and upgrade models if you need one quick. Good luck!!!! :lol: Al

Contact Hot heads. Tell them exactly which parts you have. They can sell you corresponding parts that should work fine . Or a dandy catalog you can read and see exactly what you are buying. A great item for the hemi fan.. I sell a dandy oil pump shaft bushing driver so you can replace that worn bushing while upgrading the rest of the system. Buddy
