I have seen the so-called "HEI Corrected Distributor Cap" and was wondering whether any of us had tried these on their coach yet. Accell makes them (among others) and the going rate is about $50.
For those who have not heard of this, it is an internally-rewired HEI-style distributor cap that has cylinder numbers 1-3-5 -7 on one side and 2-4-6-8 on the other side so that ignition wires do not have to cross from left to right, etc.
Maybe it could be an available option on Patterson's distributor?

Sir: I put one on a 350 Chevy engine in a 39 Ford hog nose pick up. It looks good with the wires in line and runs good. I don`t know if the cap would work on the olds? It is for sale $19,500, It would make a good toad..... (GMC content)

Anti-clockwise?
I installed elevators (lifts for you furriners). The elevator was the
weight. The big thing on the other end of the cables was the counter-weight.
If it was called the anti-weight, would that mean it didn't weigh anything?
