This is the distance I accomplished

I had the same problem with an Accel distributor and the Header tank. This thread resulted in me finding I had a spacer wedge supplied that wasn't flat, (so had leaked coolant everywhere)
So, just a quick thank you to all those that contributed to this thread some time ago, especially Lineslinger. Inspired, I went out and bought a drill press, and made my own spacer. I now have clearance issues resolved for various connections and can now spin the vacuum advance without scraping the header tank.
Great to have forums like this one! |
