Duraspark distributor cap too large...conversions?
Howdy fellas, my distributor cap on my 460 is riding against my thermostat housing. I installed an over priced slimmed down neck, but I still don't like it pushing on the cap. It's such Tight fit...I feel like there oughta be a smaller cap conversion out there. Anyone dealt with this issue?
You could get an aftermarket distributor or a different thermostat housing. There is a housing made that has the side sloped off that clears everything quite well, It was used on later 460's I think. If the housing you have is thick enough you might file or grind some clearance that way too
Correct, use a thermostat housing from an '83-newer truck 460. Napa, Oreillys and others list them for around $20. This is a picture of what the chamfer looks like to clear the large cap:
That's the ticket, I don't know why I didn't find that housing when I was shopping. I had this motor in a boat...so I had a block off plate and never had a housing. Thanks guy's.
Lucky.... I got the same problem with a Davis DUI... did you solve the problem ?? what dd you use ?? That looks like a Billet Specialities housing. I was about to drop the hammer on one today...
