There is the weight benefit, but the additional room in front of the motor is of exponential value

I’ll have to look into them again

I put my msd ignition box on the backside of the air conditioner close out panel. I should be able to access the box without removing the glove box but if not no big deal.

So I put my windshield wiper set up together come to find out it doesn’t clear this distributor. So Chevy HEI distributors don’t fit gbodys? Is it only Chevy gbodys? Has anyone ran into this situation?

When I first installed my SBC in my Regal I had this style coil cover on a stock replacement HEI and it cleared the wipers no problem, later I changed to a full MSD set up, so maybe change the style of coil cover .

I finally get a chance to post something I got my relays and wires routed on the firewall. Looks like I should invest in 3m stock using so much masking tape lol.. relays are for dual cooling fans, neutral safety, rear backup lights. I like the msd solid state relay a lot less wiring

Well I got starter wired up and checked for clearance from the pressure plate. I had a summit brand and unfortunately the starter solenoid needed to be placed towards the ground it would not fit upwards and the wire connection points were facing the headers. Unfortunately that won’t work ( what if I accidentally run something over bend the headers towards the starter and the rest could be history) so I bought the msd brand.
