If your distributor is the large cap, MSD ready to run distributor, that distributor is well known to not fit properly in a Pantera. It was a bad choice in the first place, and an even worse choice to actually install it.
A stock small cap dual point distributor, a small cap Duraspark distributor, a small cap Mallory Unilite distributor and a small cap MSD distributor will all fit correctly
once you get the center screen removed please give us a photograph of your distributor. Some of them with a large cap can be converted to a small cap
as for the scoop hitting the back window, 😳😳😤no wonder the center screen is shoved too far to the rear.
BTW, an earlier post by Alasorsa actually asked if the scoop was hitting the rear window. I know this is all new to you Brian, and you know we are all trying to help you. That being said, it would’ve saved a lot of back-and-forth in this thread if you had checked the fitment of the scoop when alasorsa made his post. Just saying…..
it is hard for us to productively help you when our suggestions are overlooked, and when pertinent information is only disclosed as the thread progresses
with this new information I would suggest you detach the scoop from the screen and then see how all three engine cover pieces actually fit when they are able to be positioned where they belong.
