Is the distributor hole of the 426 hemi the same diameter as the hole in small blocks

Rusty I'm trying to wrap my head around what the rotor phasing might have been in that deal LMAO

"Another old story."

When I was stationed at NAS Miramar, had a part time job at the base hobby shop

One day two guys came in with a Ford. This was about 73 or so-ish, and I'd guess this was a 65 'ish Ford. 352, whatever. Ran like "crap."

They had replaced points, plugs, condenser, rotor, cap and wires. It would barely run.

Put it on the scope. Terrible. Terrible. Points were barely opening. Went to adjust the points, and noticed the mechanical advance was stuck. This is because some time earlier, "someone" had dropped a screw into the distributor. THEN I notice that the FIRING ORDER was AROUND THE CAP BACKWARDS. This means it was running on TWO cylinders, and "whichever ones" "sorta crossfired" to run.

At some point I discovered the vacuum advance was ruptured.

So points were barely opening on "some cylinders"

Mechanical advance was stuck

Vacuum advance was ruptured

And the plug wires were very very wrong.

How they ever got the thing there, or to run at all, is beyond me.
