Plus stabbing dizzies is so much fun that, you know, we enjoy doing it over and over.

Prolly not so bad on your truck since it's normalish height or shorter. Sucks majorly on a lifted truck though, especially for us men of stature whose bellies don't always fit under the hood :haha: I regularly curse GM for putting the damn thing at the back instead of the front. Risk of water damage, fah ... I wanna be able to REACH it!

Do not buy an MSD Street Fire distributor. They are cheap and mine failed very quickly. There are so much better quality distributors for the money.

MSD box's get blamed for a lot of stuff.
I think most of it has to do improper install, and other components failing.
And, that people seem to not understand a lot of electrical stuff.
That is in NO way a dig, at chevy305... Bad outta the box, is bad outta the box.

Thanks. I have stumped several MSD phone tech supporters with problems I've had with their boxes. I had it wired 100% correct and I still couldn't get 3 boxes to even fire a single spark. I mean I hate to be a hater but I have had terrible luck with MSD. I'm sure their top dollar stuff is awesome but bargain line stuff is just paying for the brand name.

Being of small stature, helps when working on trucks. :haha:
And, yea... Changing a lowered trucks distributor, is much easier.

I made an Oil Pump Drive Slot alignment tool.
Its just a rifle cleaning brush extension, thats smashed on one end and bent on the other.
But, the damned thing makes life so much easier. :D

I can pull and drop a distributor in ~3 minutes now.
Ive done it way too much. :doah:

Just like I can R&R the starter, in about 5 minutes.
And, that mofo will be shimmed perfect! :haha:

I actually bought one of the fancy ones -- really an oil pump primer -- for when I put in that big block that was freshly rebuilt.

Otherwise I'd just always used a big honkin' flathead and swore a lot when I missed (which was mostly) :haha:

This is a sign that you've done job (x) too many times, when you can R&R the part in your sleep. I'm that way with most anything in the brake system after the crewcab :doah:

the MSD streetfighter in my kids truck has been flawless:D I'd do it again
 
I see why Greg72 spent eleventy-bazillion hours making the axles fit in the wheel arches properly.

Nope... Not lifting.

Just waiting on a distributor, and power steering hoses.
I need to pick up a Combination Valve for my brakes, and some fittings and brakeline, too.
