HEI distributor Clearance Problem Solved ??
 
If I made a recessed fiberglass piece that would have the indention of a HEI distributor, with say at least a 1/2 inch clearance all around the cap so you could change plug wire and caps easily, have it molded off a 60-66 gm firewall. So that you would cut out a portion of your firewall (I would make a pattern to go with it) it would have a one inch larger flange/ lip so you could rivet or bond it to the firewall.Would also be smooth and shiny. Would anyone buy one for 20.00? I would make a mold so I could make as many as we need.I'm thinking of making one for myself, if more of you would like one I'll make the mold. I could have this part over the weekend.
I make fiberglass molds and shapes for a living.

With the setup I have, using the bellhousing motor mounts on my truck I can't easily move the motor mounts forward and my HEI Distributor sets right on the firewall, the spark plug boot on cap touches it. I have the motor out right now.
Thanks, Ron
