8v Distributor woes...

[pellom@YorkU.CA (Sal Guzzo)]

Guys,

I actually used the distributor from the 3a block and it ran fine til I blew
#3 piston.  So I decided to go all out now...lightened pistons rods, 83.5 mm
pistons, decked block.  I'm picking up the motor on Monday.  Let's see what
this 2.0l 8V 3a will do.
