Was trying to get this 400 tuned and realized that I had an intake leak. Ended up repairing it yesterday and was having a hard time getting my distributor to seat properly.

Apparently I dropped an intake bolt into the distributor hole in the valley and didn’t realize it till I started reassembly. Thank goodness for telescoping magnets!
