Default Missed Flat Rate by a mile.........

Recently I saw some serious rust on the magnetic assembly inside my MSD Distributor that had been caused by a blown radiator hose several months ago. I neglected to address any moisture in the distributor at the time due to the tempratures. I decided today that I would pull the distributor and repalce the magnetic picup assembly. The friggin hold down bolt for the distributor is nearly immpossible to access with the dual coolant outlets on the front of the Weber Manifold. What I thought was going to be a 2 hour job took 6 after finally deciding to drain the coolant system and remove the impeeding hose, and a trip to the machine shop. Not a fun job and no real benefit, other than a fresh magnetic pickup and cleaner insides of the distributor.
