John,
You are correct, the BDS Comp manifold is taller. The plenum profile is also unique.
I believe the MSD 84697 will fit as long as you are using a set-back plate, since this adds to the height of the blower. If not, the crank trigger is not much more expensive. Has anyone formally asked MSD?

Thanks for the compliments Jeff1000.
The down side to running front offset is the huge load you put on the crank snout. In our case, it is already responsible for sea pump, steering pump, dry sump pump, and alternator. Then, you hang the blower belt in front of that you you now have a twisting moment of 3 to 4 inches. Crank and bearings will not be too happy. Also, you are moving distribution away from the cylinders that run inherently lean on BBC's.
Hows the Skater working Brad? I would like to hear what you think about the exhaust configuration - ie. noise and performance. Any reversion issues?

That seems like a good solution, was there any change in fuel distribution (to the cylinders)?
You can easily work on the distributor too.
Did you have TBS turn the case around?
Thanks
Due
