switched to dual 34icts; now attempting to use the original distributor with the vacuum pod....and can't time the car because the bracket is in the way. It hits the pod when turning to time.

what you got??? or any suggestions on where to buy....

How much clearance do you need? Maybe you can grind some off?

I need at least an extra inch...should have taken a picture of the pod up against it. If I get no response, I'll post later tonight.

Take the pod off.

was hoping to hook it up to the port on the throttle plate for better advance?????

If installing a new cable mount ('pod'?) in another location isn't an option, you might be think about removing the distributor drive and advance it a tooth or two (as needed), then the condenser will be located further away from the 'pod' which will allow you to adjust the timing several degrees.

McMark makes a nice bracket.

I checked McMark original customs website, didn't see link to fabricated parts.
I guess I'll send him a PM asking.......

in the mean time, if anyone has a used one they don't need, I'll take it...

I could use one too if available...

My bracket won't work with this, but I have something that might. Gotta find pics on my work computer.

that would be great Mark....I appreciate it!

I've got a bracket that should clear that no problem. I think its the original bracket, but since the car was converted to carbs before I got it, I don't know. Send me a PM. I'll take a picture of it a little bit later and post it. Yours for the cost of shipping.

nice...sending you a PM.....

Sorry for the delay Ray. Here is a picture.

That looks perfect. I'll respond to your pm about the paypal

Ray, in taking a second look at your exiting bracket, can you grind the lower portion a little to provide the clearance you need for the condenser?

I found the vacuum advance on the last stock distributor I had took 10" of vacuum to turn it. The vacuum port on my Weber 40IDF only pulled 5". So it wasn't doing any good anyway. I put my Mallory on it and never looked back. Check your vacuum source and pod to see if it will even work.

.....will do

the bracket from paintedman (George) worked pretty good. had to rearrange my pivot point to the other side of the oil filler. not the best linkage set up, but enough to keep me running. maybe once I'm sure this car will endure and be a decent driver I'll invest more money....
