panky's Hi Perf Distributor

,

Pankey, both the water outlets on top are closed off.  Is that temporary or what do you do to circulate back to the radiator.

-must be a prototype.  When will a working unit be available?

For those of us in the cheap seats, whats the advantage of doing what you're doing to the dist?  I get the roller rockers, etc.  The massive dist has me confused.

Thanks.  I love reading your posts about the pulling side of engine work.  The electronic stuff still mystifes me, but I'm getting there.

I have my doubts about the hei being better than the 7 al2 box especially on a 15.1 compression ratio. I do think its a honest up grade better than petronix hall effect switch where the rules state electronic ignition is allowed but no ignition boxes. Its the closet way to get msd 6 box  mjoules of spark without the 6 box.

No sharp edges everything has ben rounded .cam has overlap and the way we degreed it in made it have a huge centerline on the exhaust. Its just a matter of changing a degree key if it needs moved back closer to straight up . the clear fuel loves 15 to one compression.  the rocker arms are purty aint they murphy did a good job on them.

pankey if you dont mind saying ,how much horsepower is this motor going to make roughly?whats it in, wc ,45?how many rpms ?

Distributor shafts are harden ! May have to mark them up just a little bit . Didn't take into consideration the number of drill bits and saw blades that would be consumed. Its worth it. I am going to do two more ,one for Clays d14 and one for Matt's ca. I did notice that out of four delco 111-745 that they were variances in the roundness of the noises of the cam  wheel  that breaks the points . I wonder if the guys that are refurbishing the 1111-745 distributors have a tolerance speck for the ignition shaft cam wheel? Its probably not critical for points since you adjust the point gap but the petronix shutter that fits over the cam wheel could have excessive play. Oh well its just a after thought. Something I will not have to worry about anymore since switching to the hei. The reluctor and magnet are replaceable in the hei and since there is nothing riding against it will basically it shouldn't ware.

Brian I would like to try a number 24 out for size.
