Someone I know recently bought a CRT distributor for his 57 Ford (not Tbird). He said that the distributor body won't clear the firewall. Have any of you experienced this?  I know the female cap is shorter than the male cap (which he has), but apparently a shorter cap won't solve his problem.

Is it possible that the motor mounts are reversed? That will move the engine back enough to cause this problem.

It is possible, being it's not the original engine. Thanks.
