Distributor modifications?
« on: July 25, 2013, 04:08:43 PM »
I have heard, not that it's possible or true, that a fella can take a 292 chevy dizzy, and modify it to fit into a 302 Jimmy. Any info as to the validity of this claim would be awesome!

No, that's what you get when you drive a roadster in a cross wind at El Mirage.  :-D

Thanks Tman! And to clarify Stan, the joke was funny, not the spin! Had it been me in the car, I most certainly would have crapped my pants!
