Default ?'s about running a distributor

If your referring to the guy at LT1intake.com I do not think so. My buddy had him do an LT4 intake for him about 1 1/2 years ago, and Im pretty sure someone told me they stopped doing the conversion since then sometime.
There are or were dimensions/instructions on line detailing what needs to be done, but I cant find the link I used to have.

Funny you should ask this. I JUST emailed Scott (lt1intake.com) the other day and i got a response back saying he is currently moving his facility and won't be doing conversions until the end of May or so. Though he did say if it is only the distributer conversion he might be able to work it in.

Cool, glad you heard back from Scott. I cant find that link anywhere, and Ive looked everywhere I could think of.
Scott does a nice @ss job! If you can get him to do it, definitely do so. You wont be disappointed in his work. If you already have the distributor you plan to use, send that too and he will clearance the intake wherever needed to make sure you dont have any clearance issues.
