The distributor cap you show adapts to the conventional size MSD distributor to give it a big cap, which helps prevent cross-firing at the terminals. It won't work on an HEI.
For clearance purposes, you want to use a distributor that's more along these lines, but this one is mechanical advance only, no vacuum: Chevy Flat Top Pro-Billet Distributor - 84891

 

thanks yes I know I called msd we cut a small hole I am going to be putting shock tower at some point .did not affect my wipers ,an ,I found I could have ran an external coil but deside not to we modified so many things does not matter any more now what matters is how it runs ,an I feel good about that it was realy about making the angel fit so its very small just to allow to turn the angel to fit there over an inch clearance ,got mesh like air cleaner ,looks pretty m,uch like that other Camaro but mine altogether sit about inch or more forward.you don't relize how big those engines are until you got them in there .

 

When you are looking at clearance don't forget motor mount have give to them and a high torque motor can move a lot. I have seen a few caps knocked off of distributers due to a lack of clearance. You could try a jack on the motor to see how much it has but with 400 Ft/lbs of torque the jack can not duplicate the body twist or the compression of the "other" mount.

 

well I was looking at it yesterday they made sure they were careful the way they cut the hole there is now 2 inches clearance ,we had about one inch anyhow it was just getting it over the top ,that angle that cap has when you set it on there ,was what was stoping us at first now its got plenty or room ,thanks will keep an eye on alot of thing during first week ,will post pics soon ,thanks gorn we had to switch pressure regulator ,it was pushing to much psi ,the first one sucked . got one now only goes up to 1 to 6 psi to 10,had to modify the tranny filler hole to ,an pump it in ,if today goes well I will be taking the breakin ride ,they have to break it in 20 minutes 2000 rmps up an down a bit ,then adjust everything ,well we desided it was the engine swap from hell ,but looking back got alot done pretty fast Tuesday was one month ,I am sure guys took a lot longer ,an the mech says he wont do it again ,well so much for a simple engine swap ,so he had said to begin with ,live an learn but live,oh I am going to get on it a little during first 20 miles I hear the most important time to properly seat the valves an a lot of guys do that ,not pound on it but not babey it ,then drive it easy the rest of the year ,couse I got to get the rear until next year until we do that rebuild craby had told me about

 

wow we drove it today ,very noticeable increace in power ,it just soundslike a race motor more throaty I thought the lt1 was bad ,not heating issues ,the one thing I was going to change was the power steering pump as we changed everything else ,should be bringing it home tomorrow for weekend $54.00 for a new pump though it may not be that ,its the kinda trouble shooting the guys do who buils these as race engines in the winter for the spring,new name is christine ,an thing it has not done is run anyone over yet ,but that was a uplifting ride today ,an when my friends ask whatsso long I will say listen to this ,I thought it would sound the same not ,so the engine runs great ,I hope to say soon it was worth it ,srtill can have street rod for $200.00 an month 4 years it paid for ,an before this I had paid for itself a few years ago ,cant own a new one for anything close to that $75000.00 for the new z is there a thread about the outrageous price they get for those ,they can break to ,

 

Did you really compair you converted 4th gen with a 5th gen Z28?

Be glad yours was a 95. GM used body control modules in the 1996 and up cars. In those cars nothing works except for the headlights once you pull the PCM.

Please let use know any detail you have. How did you handle the ABS? the Air bag? What did you end up doing with the speedo and the Tach? Can we get more pics of the engine compartment?

 

you were right te only thing one guy insisted would be fine but I had printed up long story short the pump burt out close to the shop thank god,blood sweat an lough instead of cry ,now we need an ready to do Monday morning is 10 psi fuel pump that will work ,I had thougt you were right an you were now wich one would suit the set up ,I am going to research it thanks for the help ,its whole new beast the car is not the same power very noticeable ann the stall coverter takes some getting used to

 

no just the 6.6 part an the fact that some of the old ones as well as new one have them ,I know I have street machine though,people used to ask if it was hot rod before with the lt1 an cans now its hot rod or on its way the torq is amazeing feeling I got pm you gorn
