    Yeah, but it's a long drive back from Huron on Tuesday night for the special Late Model show....... Had to talk about something just to stay awake!!!!

    Now if I could just find a super good sponsor we could set this Super Stocker up with some killer horsepower/.//////..????

    My policy on distributor location is that modern engines should have the distributor in the rear. The distributors on modern engines with electronic igniton are almost no maintenance. Therefore, it is ok to put the distributor in the back where it is a little harder to access to make it easier to access everything else on the front of th engine that more frequently needs maintenance.
