Thread: 302 Stroker??

Tweet

It sure is nice to sit here with a smirk about my car - but then there are the 'honey-do's' . The @#$% kitchen - needs a new patio door, counter tops, floor and work lights followed by a new tub and surround in the main bathroom. 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.....

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 ............
