Distributor vacuum advance hitting intake.......

I just don't understand all the opposition here, really. Of course it makes a difference. Sure it'll run the same, but the exterior of the distributor will not be in the right place and could contact other objects, which is EXACTLY what this thread is about, yet there are people arguing against doing something the right way. The logic just escapes me.
Rob, most ppl here think u r a GOD. And don’t let them forget it! Kim
