I just tried to stab the the dizzy and it hits the t-ram.
Igonna grind the intake soon if I dont hear from anyone soon. Not even sure if that will work.
Thanks in advance.,

I'm not a 100% sure about the Olds, but I know the HEI style distibutor will not clear some tunnel rams even with grinding.
Before you start grinding, look to see if you can come up with a small body distributor first.

Theres a Mallory Distributor Dual Point on ebay for BIN for 30 bucks. I think you can change that to a Mag style pickup or put in the photo cell. Its worth a shot ?

Thanx guys.
I'm running around town buying different stuff. Stock 1970 442 dizzy, accell piont eliminator kit, coil,cap, wires mostly from different stores cause the had it in stock. That way hopefully I can makeit to the lake Sun or Mon. Still have to rewire the ignition change, mount remote oil filters, mount new fuel pump,run lines and stab the motor in,then break in the cam , move motor forward hook drive shaft.
then go to the lake.
