    It's a Chevy HEI distributor. The engine will be installed in a '47 Commodore coupe.

    Sure looks wild Butch!
    Have an expected date when you'll have it on the road?
    Coming to Laughlin this year (Elliot & I sharing a room again this year)?

    Butch, what sort of super charger thing do you have going on? Also, take me though the front of the engine one component at a time so I can understand what you are doing? Looks really interesting.

    Badaz, isn't doing it justice, do you have a secondary water pump on it feeding the frost plugs for extra cooling ?
    love to see that blower all nicely polished or pro coated

    Wow Butch,

    That is a real real mean sounding Hornet Motor..It kind of makes all the obsticals & hurdles that you ran into worth all the trouble......After installing into your Coupe you must take it down the Strip...
    .
    Glad to see your on the Forum and sorry missed your call...Thanks for sharing
