Default Supercharger and Distributor Clearance

What's the largest Supercharger you've seen with the distributor in the stock location? 8/71? 10/71? 14/71?

I believe George was able to package a 8/71 supercharger as was twooldgoats but that is purely an assumption.

Ask T O Gs

Why not offset it or run it off the front? Limited on room?

I was looking at running a belt drive and running the distributor in front but I'm concerned about the blower belt and pulley being in the way. Anyone ever mock something like that up?

I know I can run an 8/71. Dill and GTO George do but CAN I go bigger? That's really the goal.

Talk to Probird, He runs a large 5 liter per revolution Whipple Supercharger and might be able to help you out.

I ran a moon cover with a front drive for my mag and fuel pump.. it did extend beyond the belt but you have plenty of room between the belt for a belt driven distributor.. the idler pull spreads things out pretty good..
Never ran the set up ur after but can't see where the belt would interfere al all..
Why not run a mag over a distributor?

I ran a 8/71 with BDS manifold. Small diameter msd cap will fit.

If a person were to use a crank-triggered ignition, an original distributor could be "chopped & sectioned", since all it would need to do would be to distribute the spark to the plugs- it would easily fit under the rear of even a 14-71! [14-71 mounting is identical to 6-71, etc.]

Exactly! I run a 10-71 blower with a modified Wenzler Gutsram and a crank trigger and the distributor (unchopped) fits under the blower. With a shorter intake, the distributor could be cut down to fit. A lot of these issues are covered in the thread about my supercharger build:
