I have a 1978 225 /6 in my 1935 Dodge. I moved the alternator to the manifold side, but the little upright tube on the timing tab hits my fan belt. What is the purpose of that tube, and can I remove it?

Thanks,
John

Yep you can remove it, you're using a timing light to do your timing, the factory used a probe that inserted into the tube....quick work with a dremel tool would excise the offending part.

That sounds like a great ride/engine combo. 8)
