Re: Nasty Little Distributor

Never saw or heard the reference by anyone be it customers or fellow mechanics in shops and dealerships or customers in the two parts houses and farm equipment dealership I worked the parts counter in but about 5 years ago it started showing up in use primarily by new guys to the hobby. It's just something that has bugged me every time I see it as it tells me that who ever is writing it probably doesn't know much about what he is writing about and is trying to sound like his idea of a real car guy hanging nicknames on parts rather than using the correct name.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
