Turns out, there is no standard for how you clock your distributor on SBC 350's. Important to know before you rip out all the plug wires ;-)
Also, when you have the points with attached condenser, there is no feeler gauge that will fit under the centrifugal advance weights and between the lobe and condenser cap ;-)
Also, who ever thought putting the distributor back against the firewall was a good idea. I'm 6'6" and I guess shorter people just lay on top....or take off the hood...and windshield....or they bought the straight 6? ;-)
It's an adventure

Distributor? What is that?lol Must be related to a carbulator

if you put in a rv cam and tune the distributor with a spring and weight kit so reach full max advance before 5000 rpm you can get a beast that will rev til you back off.old tuner.
