    What if you measure a stock distributor from the top of the gear to the bottom of the collar, and just add whatever thickness the spacer is, to set the slip collar by. I don't know if this will work, just a guess.
    Let me know how it works out, I've got 2 tall-deck 427's that I'm gonna build up someday.
    I ain't dumb, I just ain't been showed a whole lot!
