Done two. One on my homemade pickup and the other on a coupe. Works good with little affect on floor/foot space.
i know it's not a 26-27 model T, but it is a Y block with 6 carbs like i plan on running in my coupe and it also has the same master cylinder i have although it's mounted on the wrong side. my Y block in mock up. not in picture is a grant flamethrower distributor. i obviously need room for it, but i'm worried if it's too deep in the recess, will i have trouble removing it if i have to. looks like Anders' distributor on his dodge hemi is close.
a recess won't work on my build, i need a flat surface and space to mount a master cylinder. i need to reverse the firewall.
I got about a inch betven the dist and firewall. To remove the dist on my Dodgemotor i ned to lift it about 9/16 and then i can wiggle it and remove. If i cant do it with the distcap it would not be a problem without it.
it does look close. i think i'm worrying about nothing. the Y block distributor sits lower and is angled off to the side. it appears i can pull it out without it hitting but remember, it's a flamethrower so i won't have the option to remove the cap if it comes close.
