Cowl has a 6" hole directly above the dist. I will fab a sealed cover that will be removable with the windshield in place for servicing wires/cap/rotor without pulling the windshield. The dist MIGHT come out, too, but worst case the Lexan windshield will be removable in about 5min.
I was not nuts about cutting the holes in the cowl, since it is structural, but they just missed the flange to the firewall, and the internal bulkhead, so I'm calling it OK. I considered welding a cylinder in there to connect the top and bottom holes, but with the motor in there it would be a PITA for little effect.

I saw the hole in the dash, but wasn't sure how much clearance you would have to the windshield. Heck I forgot all about the cowl/windshield/motor relationship in the earlier posts, until I saw the pics. Then I was like uh oh...."Houston we have a problem". Could you run on of these? http://www.msdignition.com/Products/Distri...istributor.aspx Or is there some other concern at play specific to the LT1/Opti? I was interested in the whole conversion from opti to traditional distributor. My dad has stone stock 93Z28 and I am waiting for that to crap out and tackle that job. I don't think he'd go for this conversion though. This post has been edited by 1qwikbird: Jan 5 2009, 02:18 AM |
