Uhhhhh.........isn't that what you wanted, a taller crank trigger distributor? According to a MSD Tech on the MSD forum, the measurement from where it sits in the block to the bottom of the housing is 4.35".

Gerry,
When you gut one for a crank trigger,all that is used is the rotary button to distribute the fire to each wire. Just needs the advance locked all the way.

to lock out a msd, remove spring/weights &bushings. remove advance limit bushing (under weight plae. remove roll pin in collar , pull up center shaft and rotate 180* . push shaft down and replace collar/pin leave pickup in dist. bag the other parts to convert back when/if need
