My 72 was giving me a fit with the old points distributor. It came with a 307 and motor mounts are in the rear frame holes. I slid old points setup out and slid the large cap HEI setup right in with no issues. I still have room to get my hand between cap and firewall with no mods.

I wonder if the body has been undone on the Blazer and may be shifted forward on the mounts a touch or the mounts are loose enough to cause enough flex to push on the cap.
