    Distributor for the big and small block Chevrolet engines are designed for use with the "Jesel" Camshaft Belt Drive Kit. The Front Drive COMP 9000 Distributor relocates the distributor and spark plug wiring harness to the front of the engine. By placing the distributor in front of the engine there is no interference with manifold runners and firewall locations. The Front Drive COMP 9000 Distributor is machined to exact tolerances. Features include the largest diameter cap offered in the high performance industry and a specially designed, counterbalanced rotor that interlocks with the adapter shield to eliminate arcing and crossfiring. A spark plug wire retainer was designed to ensure positive spark plug wire connections under even the most severe racing conditions. NOTE: Applications will require Mallory Distributor Plug for dry sump oiling systems or Mallory Oil Pump Drive for wet sump oiling systems. See catalog for more information.

    Arc welding is one of several fusion processes for joining metals. By applying intense heat, metal at the joint between two parts is melted and caused to intermix - directly, or more commonly, with an intermediate molten filler metal. Upon cooling and solidification, a metallurgical bond is created. Since the joining is an intermixture of metals, the final weldment potentially has the same strength properties as the metal of the parts. This is in sharp contrast to non-fusion processes of joining (i.e. soldering, brazing etc.) in which the mechanical and physical properties of the base materials cannot be duplicated at the joint.

    1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme advertising

    I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public. My first impression was that Oldsmobile was using 1978 to create a family-oriented lineup of new cars. The company used its advertising and marketing to highlight many traditional family values
