[DeTomaso] MSD distributors - WTF?

[bill gaino]

Erik, I rebuilt my motor and the dizzy fit before. NOW I cannot fit the engine screen. The engine mounts that bolt to the frame should be on the correct sides that place the engine to the rear. I think I have mine wrong. It is only an inch or so.. The stands fit either side, but the holes is off center... Check yours... Bill 1362
