found a hei dist for my 71 six cylinder, its out of a 78 van. my question is if i drop the new dist. in with the rotor pointing at the same direction as my old dist. rotor was pointing that it should drop right in (with maybe alittle bump of the crank) and my timing should be real close to specs. also wondering if i will have enough room, my fuel line runs between the block and dist.. any past expertise out there?
