Default Re: Ronning 8BA style distributor on 59A

Chris, thanks for the tip about the lawnmower belts. I will check that out.

Jim, it has been so long since I had the front fenders on for mock up, I cannot find the pictures in my computer.

Mart, that was my original thought, but I am not a fan (pun intended) of the asymmetrical load that winds up on the water pumps when you use the offset generator or alternator mount. Also, stationary mounting the alternator or keeping it as low as possible came about because I originally intended to run a Super Dual 2x2. I put 3" risers on it that make it look kinda like a Thickstun and was able to just clear the front bowl of the 97. That manifold would probably be the best performer but now I shifted gears (again!) to go with an Eddie Meyer unit that was missing the top piece and I made a replacement for it. Here's a pic of it.
