Well......well .........well. .............f iddlesticks. I found out that the stock Duraspark distributor will not fit because of the idler pulley directly in front of where the vacuum advance canister would fit. So, I will have to use one without vacuum advance. No biggie, as it was probably a moot point anyway since the camshaft is fairly stout. Probably wouldn't have a lot of part throttle vacuum anyway. I will just get a performance magnetic pickup style distributor with no vacuum advance and a black cap and use the Duraspark connectors to wire it to my fake Duraspark box. lol

Got the ignition all sorted out and wired up. All that's left is to hook an ignition hot wore to the coil positive and the tach signal to the coil negative when I install it in the car. Came out real nice.

Now I am working on the steering shaft. I removed it, cut the rag joint end off and an dressing it down to 3/4 double d so it will fit in the u joint. Pictures to come in a bit.

When turned stop to stop, is there any wobble at all ? Curious. Not sure if I'll try this on the next 72 , or leave the cable.
Seems to me I read in the NHRA regs a cable was not allowed ?

None that I can see. I guess if I put a dial indicator on it I might pick some up, but I am not that picky. Not like it can go anywhere.
