MSD has a new distributor called the flat head, which is supposed to clear some blowers, but I don't know if that includes 14's. Check their web site: http://www.msdignition.com/2006/06-11.htm
If you want to trade your 14s, PM me. I have 2 TBS 8-71s and am looking for 2 14s.

No the msd will not fit the low deck . I put them in the classifieds to see if someone might buy them for a good price then I might look for set up that clears my billet msd without a problem. How much would you be willing to pay me to trade per blower anyway?

Lloyd-
The BDS comp manifold might be taller than a TBS and you must use a a crank trigger with the crab you have, correct?

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?

We were wondering about the MSD 84891. It's a new distributor, which has the crab top and the pickup within the dist. housing.
I'm going to ask MSD later today and then report back.
