Distributor vs. Distributor

Good evening all.
I am slowly gathering the parts needed for the installation of my new blower and including in my search are distributors. I have learned the HEI is not going to fit with this blower. With this being said, what would be a decent distributor for use with my setup?

355 ci
8.3:1 cr forged pistons
2.02 int - 1.6 exh / 64cc aluminum heads w/200 cc runners
.464 int/.464 exh lift, .222 int./.226 exh. dur @.050 - 114* lobe sep.
full roller rockers
671 blower
2 - 600 Holleys
4 speed

I seriously doubt the engine will ever see 6000 rpm's, just a Saturday night cruiser for the Mrs and myself when we want to go get a sody pop.

I would certainly welcome any recommendations and explanations.

Thanks!
KC

Mallory Uni lite uses a very small cap that may give you the clearance you need.

Maybe the small cap Crane Street/Race Distributor would fit.

Hey Kevin,
If you are going to run an ignition box, I would look into the like brand of distributor for a "plug and play" type situation.
Also Crane makes a nice ign. box with timing retard control built in. Something you may want to consider.
If you are not concerned with tach drive capabilty you'll have a large selection of distributors to choose from.
