My son is gathering parts for a blown 426 hemi. What dist you guys using ?
Iv had some medicine units on a 440 and was unable to rotate the dist and will not rotate on his hemi either
The black plastic hits
Maybe possible pics of yours ?

Clearance can be an issue depending on which heads, intake and blower drive that you use. Things get crowded in a hurry when you run a blower.

I don't think anything blower rated was a issue. The distributor is interfere with the head it's self
On my 440 it was interfere with the valve cover

I run any of the MSD billet ones. They clear Indy valve covers...My Firecore distributor exploded.

If you're controlling timing electronically, why not just use a stock magnetic pickup with the advance locked out?

We rebuilt an OEM one and use it to trigger the MSD box.

It has a plastic cap, but the base is aluminum.....The old ones were all plastic.
