Yes, no problem if you have a normal distributor. I installed a distributor from a EFI 460, with a large cap, with the engine in place. Cheers, Thomas

IIRC some of the things you have to do are done thru the firewall, but it can definitely be done Jim On Monday, June 9, 2025 at 07:57:25 AM PDT, Asa Jay Laughton via DeTomaso <detomaso@detomasolist.com> wrote: Yes.

Sure. Its a bit more time-consuming since you'll be on top of the engine, and also working through the access door behind the rear firewall, but it can be done. Spark plug wire access is some amount of trouble unless you've deleted the rear side window glass.

I performed distributor swap during Pocono track event one year. Gear retainer pin had sheared. Only lost few hours track time. Not sure fun was thought at time....more a sense of success. 😄 Ron Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> ________________________________ From: Asa Jay Laughton via DeTomaso <detomaso@detomasolist.com> Sent: Monday, June 9, 2025 6:38:56 PM To: Mike Drew <mikeldrew@aol.com> Cc: detomaso@detomasolist.com <detomaso@detomasolist.com> Subject: [DeTomaso] Re: distributor replacement +1 Funny. 😆 I thought it was funny.
