    Nice love the Bubbas sticker , I don’t think they’re working on distributors anymore are they
     
  6. I recently put an unused one with minor shelf wear into one of my cars, put quite a few miles on it with no issues. They are fantastic distributors

    you can barely make out the mechanical tach drive jim added

    the recess in the firewall sort of reminds me of homer simpson with square ears

    Holy jeebus! I've got one of those oil filter housings but I've never seen that type of cast Valley Pan. And those early Mt covers are pretty rare

    Yah, that poncho dist is reverse-rotation, perfect for a Stude. & my one of projects. Problem: there isn't enough money in the world to make that happen.
    I almost drooled my keyboard into shorting out looking at that pic... Boy, that looks nice...
    Maybe someday I can make a lookalike(read: "fake"), that'll work ok. :D .

    I was recently given a Grant Flamethrower for a SBC, I'm a little afraid of it. Not to sure if I want the hassle. Anyone still work on these?

    By far the best looking distributor ever made outside of a rotofaze!
     
  17. Being biased, but I agree 1738D24D-5F05-4045-ACF2-5656A9BC3027.jpeg
