Does anybody have.....

A points type distributor for a 300 six laying around they could measure for me?. I need to know the height from the engine mounting surface to the cap mounting surface or the top of the cap. I'm trying to determine if the points dist is any shorter than the DS2.....this is for my COE project where space is really tight. Thanks!

Tinman, It's 3.5 inches from the top of cap ridge to bottom edge of the distributor base plate.
