SBC oddity?

[moose]

I was working on making  ahammer form for my firewall. I wanted to make sure I had plenty of clearence for the distributor. After I dropped it into the block I noticed it looked off. The block is level butthe Dizzy sits on an angle. Never noticed this before. Anyone know why it mounts like this???

Because, that's why.

The distributor is tipped to the center of the car, I figured to line up with the depression in the firewall for a six cylinder on a 55 Chevy.

I was just looking at the COE and I  noticed that too.  I think we are virgins to this. I can't remember when I was able to really look at one of these from the rear.

Too clear the cam which is in the center of the SBC

Must be more noticeable with the big HEI cap.
