[QUOTE=rockfla;2433232]….especially for 37 and up owners for removing the distributor. It fits in the limited space on the lower right distributor bolt and the right hand water pump pulley very nicely……

Never having anything so new as a 37 (LOL), what is it about 37 up that a small combination box/open end will not do the job? My 37 engine has water pump block off plates. Is it the water pumps that make it difficult?
