I was asked today if there were any other motors that had a vertical front-mounted distributor OTHER THAN the Ford small-blocks.

I couldn't think of any off hand and I can't seem to find my Chilton's manual which might have the info.

Anyone (enjenjo?) got any idea?
Yes it is Grandad\'s Old Rambler!
