Got the Weber/SBC intake manifold today. Unbolted the weber plenum.
The diameters of the runners match the 368 heads within a 16th of an inch.

Advice is Wanted:  I'm still looking for a new distributor. Should I go with a generic replacement with pertronix or a retro Mag look, or?   1" aluminum plates are at the machine shop getting milled to accept the plenum and water lines. Block is ready for test runs once we get the radiator hooked up, plug wires fitted and exhaust manifolds bolted on. Getting Close!

I would use a 57 or later distributor because it would look more natural. A Ford Y-block would work and much easier to find but would require replacing the drive gear with a Lincoln gear. I have converted a couple Lincoln stribs. for use in Ford y-blocks by doing the opposite. If you need a drive gear, let me know, I should have both. Just my 2 cents, JEFF...........

That drive gear is the same as a 390.  I had to replace a couple and that is what it crossed over with.  My local supplier (not NAPA, Oreilly's or 
Autozone), had them in stock.  

Thanks.  I have the gears and the distributor. I thought someone might chime in and suggest something more exotic but I guess there really wasn't much exotic back then for these engines. 

Just got the adapters back from my machinist friend, Harry. These go between the Weber intake runners and the head. A real professional job. Things are moving slow with this virus
