THEN, I get to take the engine in the '31 apart and fix the strange clunking noises. Too many relatives over the past couple of weeks plus a mega bad head cold/flu that have slowed any forward progress.

    Now, Mike, about those missing photos of your 'pain' .......
    HMmmm... not sure what to say about the honey-do's & home improvements.. I'm ignoring those again.. ps, I am now in possession of a nice 302 as an extra if anyones interested...

    Dave, sorry to hear your not feeling well, it is cold & flu season so here's hopin' yours doesn't get worse!

    Pics of the pain.. I haven't been sure if I want to document the mess. But I see Randy bitchin' already but now I realize we haven't seen ANYTHING from his side of town..

    Lastly, I had chatted with someone (maybe you IC2?) about a smaller diameter distributor.. to fit inside this Shelby intake. I've tried a stock unit, an accel and now a mallory unit and haven't had any fit so far. If this topic rings a bell, could you refresh my memory??

    I might point out that this time Dave bitched first and I simply agreed....

    As for me, I've been in Oklahoma since the 20th. I suppose I could post pics of painting my mom's bathroom or putting rotors & pads on her car, changing a few light bulbs, etc but I kinda figured I'd wait till I get back to CA to post some more interesting stuff.....

    I guess sanding is about as interesting as paintin' the bathroom... or doin' brakes on Moms ride.

    Glad to know you got some family time back home! And we look forward to see more interesting "stuff" from your side of the country!

    I'll try to remember to bring the camera with me tomorrow...

    Yep - the MSD small diameter billet distributor - 5/8" smaller in diameter. P/N 8479 (http://www.msdignition.com/Products/...ro-Billet.aspx and MSD Pro-Billet Street Distributors 8479 - SummitRacing.com) and at least $50 bucks more now then when I bought mine.

    You do need to make sure you have the right drive gear for the camshaft you are using - I have a steel billet cam and steel gear.

    About those photos ............

    Thanks for those Dave! Could I trouble you for a measurement? Could I ask for the O.D. of the distributor just above the intake? If it isn't to much trouble???

    I also notice your PCV is on the left front of the motor. Where I usually set it to the right rear. Works the same I know, just a different approach...

    Is that the fuel filter across the rear of the intake? I'll bet you never expected so many questions from 2 pictures!! LOL..

    I think that's how Dave & I first became acquainted....he always posted such great detailed pictures in his responses on my first thread. As I studied the pics, I would notice other things he did that would spark more questions. I've learned quite a lot from Dave since '07! Thanks, Dave!

    Mike - the distributor is about 3.900/3.915 (about as good as I can measure without pulling the hood). There is also a taper on the bottom ~1/4 of the upper body that goes down to about 3.5. It also stands proud of the block about 3.5 inches.

    I use the PCV at the front of the engine to get it away from return oil flow and the fact that the carb has the fitting at the front - also just because I can.

    Yes, that is the Speedway 6" fuel filter at the back. I used 2" billet clamps from Yearwood and a home made bracket. I plan on putting a SS hard line instead of the braided over the winter so that location may end up changing.

    Randy - Thanks. I really appreciate the good words

    Randy. That's what got the 3 of us hooked up! I remember asking Dave for pics of his rear brakes as I was working on mine and we have almost the same setup.
    Of course he obliged me with great pics and great explanations!

    Just like he did today, I asked for a single measurement and get 3 or 4!

    YEP! Dave is one of the good guys and a real asset to this place! He's made me feel welcome here and I have always been glad he wanted to meet up with me at the show in Burlington, VT.

    So as this year draws to a close.. I'll take this opportunity to say again, THANKS DAVE!

    Temperature wise it was a glorious day! Windy & Gusty but it was in the 50's and the shop was warm without hardly trying.

    Lookin' good, Mike!!! I'm glad somebody is making progress! It's a glorious day here, too at 75 degrees. I'm committed to go share in the testosterone pool at a playoff game watch party.....
