Thanks for the info...I have access to a tubing/pipe bender, I was just hoping to take the "easy" way out ( 'just bolt it in' ) but it looks as if I'll have to "be creative".
: I couldn't find a source 10 years ago, so I took a piece of .875 erw steel tubing,
: can't remember wall thickness, but was in the .07-.09 range. We cut it long, packed
: it with sand, and put a bend in it to clear distributor. Made end brackets, cut to length,
: welded 'er up,painted, and bolted it to the bolts that are just forward of shock towers.
: Looked as good as the Mustang items, and was a good place to tie wrap the MSD wiring to.
: We used a telephone pole as our bend "mandrel", and looking back, the sand was probably
: overkill, as the required bend isn't all that much.
