I didn't even know the distributors were in back! I never payed attention I guess. Never had the chance to work on one.

I rebuilt a 292 out of a '56 Tbird back in auto shop. It's a neat little engine but weighs a ton, not much less than an FE.

Yeah i didnt know ford put a distibutor in the back but i guess they had to make it difficult for us, they darn chevys u can barely even work on the distibutor clear in the back, one thing good about most fords its in the front and easy access...
