heres the problem

i finally get around to putting my engine together and notice that my MSD distributor (model MSD-8580) has clearence issues with my victor jr intake. it looks to me as if the diameter of the housing is to big. it turns out MSD makes a special dizzy that is supposed to be used with a Vic Jr (model MSD-85805). does anyone in here use a vic jr carburator intake? if so, what dizzy do you guys use. I also have an MSD ignition box so it must be compatable with that. what do you guys think of this distributor http://store.summitracing.com/partde...DisplayPrice|0 do you think it will have the same clearance problems as the MSD one.

question two... what type of gear is needed with a solid roller cam? I am guessing steel, but i could be wrong.

 

after doing some research i found that a solid roller cam needs a bronze or polymer gear.

but now i need help on deciding what distributor to buy. what works with a vic jr intake? what type of advance do i want, mechanical or vacuum? i plan on racing, but also crusing on the weekends. any help would be great.

 

You can just grind down the intake a little to get the clearance you need.
