Jack regulary reports that the entire engine and transaxle can be moved back sufficiently to allow even a large distributor to fit up there. Might need to dig up some of his old posts.

1:30 into the part 3 video, it almost looks as if they bashed, welded and butchered the top of the firewall to clear the big distributor:

>>>I wish the guy who restored my car had done that.   My distributor (small-base MSD) is hard-up against the stainless steel firewall, and I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be to blame for the sub-8-cylinder running condition which has been plaguing me off and on (and now mostly on) for quite some time.

At the next tech session at my house, I'm gonna sic somebody on that while I handle nutsy-boltsy stuff on Lori's car (removing her cooling pipes and radiator and replacing them with new ones).
