Bought dist. drive from wegner performance 4 years ago,made alt. brackets and machined pulleys and water pump spacers. The valve covers are katech's but they don't fit, the drivers side hits on the fire wall by the windshield wiper motor. If someone is interested in them,there for sale. I painted them thinking it would fit. It's a mistake that i can't turn into a good idea.
