We call this a "butt change" , the 337 doesnt have mechanical advance and this is the fix for having full mechanical advance...

That's pretty cool. I bought a lincoln distributor and got rid of the 885fg governed carb and governed distributor. Wished I'd have bought one of your Butt conversions.

I make aluminum finned heads for those

Capitan, If possible post a photo of the heads you make - top and bottom.
Would be neat to see.
I commend you for making them.

Obscure factoid: The first year Lincoln 337 had an Autolite distributor with proper centrifugal advance and vac can. '50 and up got the worthless Holly distributor.

I saw those heads and the two intakes. They look awesome. Can't do it now, gotta finish the F-8 then maybe then...[emoji1591]

Nice looking combustion chamber. Looks like you can use a power tip plug. What is the CR on a stock engine.

A whopping 6.8 to 1! Here is a little better view of the lincoln distributor.
