Tom - On your recomended suggestion I checked my distrib. gear and its clearance. I got a surprise. First, the gear checked good but now for the supprise. There was a thin shim that fit under the MSD dristib. between the block and the distrib. !!!!!! I haven't paid any attention to this prior to this post and I LUCKED OUT that it was set to the correct 4 inches with the shim. Now that I think about it a bit, the factory block milling specks have to be all over the place on a block from the factory just because 385's being what thay are. Thanks, I've now found ANOTHER thing to look out for!!!! Hope you get everything glued back together soon
and thanks for the heads up.
