Anyone remember the spacers that Knafel and Royal used to use under the ball joints on the drag cars?? Anyone know who might still have some that could be measured??? I think Honest Charley used to sell em too, but that was a few years ago. And most people my age have no clue what I'm even talking about. So I guess I need a little help from some old timers.

I just bought a pair off ebay. I don't know who made them. They are angled. Shorter on the inside and taller on the outside. The dimensions are 1 3/8" on the inside and 1 3/4" on the outside.I will try to use them with some six cylinder springs or maybe some tall skinny moroso ones. I'll try to get them in this week.

Well they use to sell them in JC Whitney and that catalog has not changed in years. It must have been a real hot seller for JC to discontinue it.

Perfect. I have an old Mallory dual point distributor from the 60's on the way. Maybe you could look it over for me when it comes in. I want to hook it up to an old Mallory magspark coil I have. I wanted to stick the spacers in the car this week but I'll wait for you to see them. Email me
