Re: Distributor block off plate for a 292

My friends are starting to call me one off Mick.
Many of us have built a number of custom items over the years. Among my projects was my '91 Toyota truck. I put a Subaru turbo onto a Toyota turbo pickup engine, bolted on a non-turbo head, installed a GM computer with distributorless ignition to manage it, found a non-existent "stage three" clutch, laid out my own stainless exhust, and put a stake body with a dump hoist on the back. I did much of the work in my dirt floor barn or in my kitchen in front of the wood stove while babysitting my new son after work and on weekends. I used a "well worn" Logan lathe, a sawzall, and a Chinese drill press along with creativity and plenty of patience to make most of my parts. The vehicle ran until it rusted into the ground.

Eventually you realize that everything good is a one-off.
