6 Deg. Angle On Dist. For LT1 Intake

Which way does the distributor tilt for the 6*? I'm going to make a spacer in shop class so i figured i'd ask which way it tilts so i know when i get ready to put all my stuff together for the LT1 intake swap. I did do a search but people just talked about it. So i'm kinda clueless on the 6* tilt, or if i even need it. Thanks.

I'm a little confused about your question. You want to know if you can use your stock fuel lines or my custom lines? With a LT1 intake you will need custom lines as the fuel rail has a quick disconnect fitting unlike the TPI.

That part i understand, but i didn't understand if i send my current fuel lines off to you to get redone for the manifold, or if you only offer the lines all new.

You dont actually send your LT1 aluminum lines off to John to be redone or modified. For $80-85 (He has two different prices on his site for some reason) he will send you new rubber lines that replace your TPI's rubber lines. These lines go from your Lt1 aluminum line's fitting to the tubing that sits on the frame rail. Hope that answered your question. See ya

Yep, thanks, now to get the intake finished and find some fuel rails.

Hard to see with engine in car. If you remove the intake, you'll see the the casting where the Dist. seets is higher on the passenger side. The intake does not set this angle. The bore in the block sets it. The purpose is for the Dist gear and camshaft gear to mess properly.
