its starting to look like I am going to need a crank trigger... the distributor i am using is too tall. i am looking for a low profile cap... otherwise I'll be doing a crank trigger...

UPDATE: figured it out... the vortec distributor is what i need... it is low profile. the distributor i have is pre-vortec. :)

Looks great! An enterprising person would make two of everything, and when the project was successful, sell a kit :idea:

I wouldn't say I haven't thought of a kit... but it wouldn't be for a novice fabricator for sure. and it wouldn't be cheap unfortunately... :?
