hi. Is there anyone here running this combo?  If so, is it a really tight fit? I was thinking about grinding on the head a little to allow a  little room.  I am also running a quick fuel 750 with dual line feed. It seems that dual line feed connection is right at the dist. Any suggestions. I can take pics if needed.

I swapped the bowls so the line comes in on the drivers side.

I turned my feed around so the connection was at the rear.  I had to make up some other plumbing but got it done.

well i grinded on the head just a little and was able to set the msd ready to run dist in.  as for the dual fuel line i ended up buying a short braided dual line feed from holly.   it gave me about 3" of extra room.

When using the MSD "ready to run" Distributor with the Eddy Heads, there is indeed a pretty fair interference requiring grinding.
It usually takes me more than the "little" grinding you described....to get the Dizzy in, and with Sufficient clearance that it is not being pushed to one side against the Head....
just make sure there is enough clearance so as not to kill the Dizzy bushing internally.

what's the dizzy bushing. I used a dremel and grinded that hump down just enough to set the msd . You could slip a piece of paper between the head and msd.
