Chaplin:

On the 289/302/351 blocks the distributor does not attach to the intake manifold as in an FE. The seat that the distributor bottoms out on is not "Cut" when the block is decked nor does the new (lower) position of the manifold have any impact on the distributors vertical register placement. If you look at a bare block you can visualize this.
