    Mike - I've used the B&M, Transgo and now the TCI which along with their servo kit has been the best in a C4 for me. If you have had to drill the sheet metal divider in the control valve, you may not be able to use that one for another supplier's kit, C4 or AOD

    This gadget:

    TCI High Performance Servo Kits 523005 - SummitRacing.com , an AOD version is 10 bucks more

    (Holy c@#p that gadget got expensive, I paid around $70)

    Yeah, but you know how it is.. just gotta do something! Anything.. it is a toy after all and I've never tried the transgo stuff. I got the transgo kit from summit, A "reprogramming" setup that costs with shipping about 95.00.

    The guys on the ford tranny forum like it so I'll try it out.

    I haven't done a thing with them yet.. I hope to modify the trans valve body this weekend and get the setup into the frame. I've also been searching for a distributor to use. Everything I've found so far won't clear the intake. I may have to get "creative".... we'll see.

    Mike,
    Looking back at the pictures I'm assuming your problem is the diameter of the distributor body as opposed to the height? Regardless, Edelbrock uses a small body, short cap Mallory distributor on their ProFlow XT's where the throttle body hangs out over the top. Mallory does not acknowledge the part number, as it's packaged for Edelbrock but it's theirs. Summit shows several small body Mallory units for the SBF engines if height is not the problem - FORD 5.0L/302 Mallory Ignition Distributors - SummitRacing.com

    Yes Roger, the diameter is a huge prolem and I will not grind on the intake! There is a connecting piece that passes in front and en-circles the whole dizzy. So an offset drive won't work. I may have to "clearance" the dizzy body or find one that sits higher. The narrowest body I've found so far is 3" and that one is an old mallory and still hits so the unit won't sit on the block. It comes very close but I'm not there yet.

    We'll keep searching.

    You might call Mallory and give them the height dimension from hold down ring to top of manifold and see if they have a tall drive with the skinny top that fits? If you can get a technician over 40 you might have a chance....

    Looking back, one photo in your Post #21 on Page 2 (Link Here - 302 Stroker?? ) shows a distributor in place?

    That MSD Billet I gave you info about wont fit? Not sure if there IS a smaller diameter distributor with that one being 5/8" less then a stocker.

    Roger - don't you mean over 50

    Roger. That pic with the distributor is the closest I've found so far and that one still needs to go down another quarter inch.

    Dave, since the measurement you provided was still in excess of 3" I figured I'd keep looking. You taking yours out??? Can I borrow it for a trial fit??

    I'm thinking I'll have to call Summit and hopefully get a tech who won't mind digging into some boxes with a tape measure...

    On the dist issue-----look for a mech advance only one as they aren't as deep as the dual advance ones----so there is more height from the mounting flange part to the bottom of the main where the advance and points are----------

    Mike,
    The Mallory Billet Comp on mine looks to be just a hair under 3" OD below the cap. The ledge on the cap makes it 3.25" but that should be well above your manifold. I really think you'll have a lot better luck calling Mallory or MSD direct and talking to their tech guys instead of Summit. There's gotta be a distributor out there that fits. They used the manifold back in the 60's, right? Maybe a magneto.....

    Read my lips-----the centrifugal only advance distributors have smaller bottom housings and will clear that manifold------

    HMmm.. I'm wondering what you're really saying? LOL... I was just in New York this week. Town of Hillburn. Right next to Mahwah, NJ.
    I might get back out there in 4 to 6 weeks. I'll PM if / when it happens. TIA
