I have an expansion tank right in front of the current Ford distributor with not much room to spare. Does anyone know the diameter over the vacuum advance as well as on the other side where the harness connects?

I have an aftermarket intake that has the thermostat on the passenger side so I'm not concerned about the upper radiator hose like their instructions warn you about.
No personal experience with this one (I have a MSD #8477).

Have you asked Summit that specific question? Their product descriptions are sometimes lacking in detail, particularly when it comes to dimensions, but I've had good luck / experience when I phone them. Often they don't have the information at their finger tips, but they've never failed to go away, chase the answer and get back to me.
