Wow...that is a spectacular setup! Congratulations.

With the old/wrong mounting for our V8, we don't have this much room. The "stock" distributor (that we found in a box of parts...EFI style...5" diameter, 7" tall) fits, but without much extra room. The "replacement" MSD styles except one are about the same diameter but are taller...which makes them questionable but possible...a local OReillys will have one in the morning we can try. We found one other MSD one that is adjustable and smaller, but of course that one would require an extra $200 for the ignition box. It's always something!

Thanks to all.
