Thread: 302 Stroker??

Thanks for those Dave! Could I trouble you for a measurement? Could I ask for the O.D. of the distributor just above the intake? If it isn't to much trouble???

I also notice your PCV is on the left front of the motor. Where I usually set it to the right rear. Works the same I know, just a different approach...

Is that the fuel filter across the rear of the intake? I'll bet you never expected so many questions from 2 pictures!! LOL..

I think that's how Dave & I first became acquainted....he always posted such great detailed pictures in his responses on my first thread. As I studied the pics, I would notice other things he did that would spark more questions. I've learned quite a lot from Dave since '07! Thanks, Dave!

Mike - the distributor is about 3.900/3.915 (about as good as I can measure without pulling the hood). There is also a taper on the bottom ~1/4 of the upper body that goes down to about 3.5. It also stands proud of the block about 3.5 inches.

I use the PCV at the front of the engine to get it away from return oil flow and the fact that the carb has the fitting at the front - also just because I can.

Yes, that is the Speedway 6" fuel filter at the back. I used 2" billet clamps from Yearwood and a home made bracket. I plan on putting a SS hard line instead of the braided over the winter so that location may end up changing.

Randy - Thanks. I really appreciate the good words

Randy. That's what got the 3 of us hooked up! I remember asking Dave for pics of his rear brakes as I was working on mine and we have almost the same setup.
Of course he obliged me with great pics and great explanations!

Just like he did today, I asked for a single measurement and get 3 or 4!

YEP! Dave is one of the good guys and a real asset to this place! He's made me feel welcome here and I have always been glad he wanted to meet up with me at the show in Burlington, VT.

So as this year draws to a close.. I'll take this opportunity to say again, THANKS DAVE!

OMG - only doing my 'job' guys, but thanks Mike (hope my hat still fits)
