The Ford Barn - View Single Post - A taller distributor for belt clearance ??

Bubba, you and I have traded e-mails. I am getting around the clearance problem using an idler pulley to bring the belt down under the distributor. What I have seen in trying to make the Chevy dizzy taller is that you run out of inside shaft length to go into the lower stabilizer fitting on what you previously called the Mercury type of timing cover. Are you making that shaft longer to make the taller housing?
