Yes! The distributor is in the back, put it in the front, on the left looking at it. Easier to do tune ups. LOL.

Disagreed. I have more cubic inches than your 383 with the distributor in the back and it's lighter as well...
Exactly how often are you resetting your timing? This isn't in a four-wheel drive truck so it's not hard to reach and get once every two or three years...lol..
