Pro Flo 4 Timing

Shout out to Peter @BergmanAutoCraft

As some of you are aware, the distributor that comes with the small block Edelbrock PRO FLO 4 kit has some issues. One of which is the distributor is so tall that the spark plug boots hit the lower wiper motor mount.
My solution was to eliminate the wiper motor and have no wipers.

I reached out to Peter, and he had a solution that solved the problem and allowed me to have wipers. I live in south Texas and in case you may not know we get some heavy downpours that appear out of nowhere, just like south Florida, so wipers are a must have.
He modified my small block distributor that came with the kit by shortening the total height of the distributor by .750" so there is now clearance between the wiper motor lower mount and the spark plug boots at the top of the distributor terminals.

He has always been a major help and is willing to share advice even when it is not his product!

Was the solution something you can purchase or did you fabricated it?.

I ask because I have the same issue and got rid of the wiper motor. I don't take the car out during rainy season because its not safe with the 426 stroker, no ABS, etc anyway.

In my case even without the wiper motor I found that some of the boots still rub in the firewall at times. So after a while I had some spark going into the chasis, had to tape those MSD boots to prevent that from happening. Just received the new boots, but the clearance is too small.
