Hi Jim,

I, too, thought the distributor in the Clasco when you put the engine in was the aftermarket one sold by Bounds but what I found is what looks for all the world like a stock HEI with a gray cap and an ACDelco module. I remember that the engine would initially not start and I think we found that same connector loose while you were changing it for a different distributor. Any idea where the replacement unit came from? I would like to know how long it had been used as I will carry it as a spare.
