More distributor .....shenanigans. It turns out that the people who made the one I bought the oil pump driveshaft is 1/4" hex sized instead of 5/16" hex, and they're selling it as 351w compatible. AFAIK, the 302 is 1/4" and the 351 is 5/16"........the rest of the shaft measurments were all smaller too, so it was going to wobble too much for our liking anyway. W in the actual F? I done with those clowns, should have just gone with a Pertronix, etc in the first place........I am living the old saying 'buy once, cry once."

Marked for the swap right before the above happened

I like the HEI I installed, but I really wish I went Pertronix...

Man that really freaking blows. When I suggested the MSD distributor, I wasn't trying to knock you, really did hope that one would work out.

No harm no foul. I blame myself 50% for these F-ups, the other 50% I blame the current cluster-F of dealing with parts suppliers.

Man, the supply chain has been a wreck lately. Our USPS in VA has been so behind on everything it's absolutely ridiculous. Apparently they took on a big contract with Amazon and never should have touched it, so now they're way overloaded with packages and can't freaking keep up. Don't know if it was a national contract or state, but neighbor is a manager at one of the local offices and he has been going down to Richmond a lot to help them sort that freaking mess. I did get my new spot weld cutter bit to try 3 days early today though, so that was nice.

UPS came to my door on Saturday night at 9:30 to drop off some parts. I've never seen them out that late, even at Christmas time.

US mail packages are delivered on Sunday here last few years in Des Moines.
