I felt the gears hit and slide in, just the housing won't sit flush against the manifold. I checked and the old distributor sat flush and they are the same height??

This is what im talking about

Alright cool. One more, I swear haha... I got the dizzy in, the gear feels all the way in, but the houing of the dizzy sticks up about 3/4" from the intake manifold. Is there a trick to get it to sit right?

I think I will remove the ignition box then and hook it up straight to the coil. The boat also has a procomp coil on it, i figure I should upgrade that to MSD as well, but which type should I use?

First, I would like to say whats up guys, my name is Lucas and im new here! I just picked up a 76 Hallett bubbledeck with a 460/berk combo, and im sure ill be seeing a lot more of you guys!

My question is that I just got my new MSD ready to run distributor, and it says that it does not require an external ignition box. However, the instruction manual shows how to install it with and without the box. My boat already has an external ignition box (Procomp electronics), would it be better to wire it straight to my coil, or through the ignition box.

Also, there is instructions for setting a rev limit, but I have no clue as to what the engine is supposed to be running as far as rpms?

All help is always appreciated! Thanks
