Today I by chance glanced at the dist. with late model housing, and realized it was shorter than usual between contact point on block and cap mount rim! Measured it and yep, 1/4 in. less height. Not important except to me. You wouldnt believe how little room there is betwen the cap of a standard type dist. and the firewall. Cramming in a wire and boot at the closest point requires technique! Looking forward to making the change.
Picked up a new vacuum advance at Carquest for 28.00. Seemed like a lot but was the best deal between them, NAPA and AZ.
