Is it grammatically possible for the conjunctional 'since' (not the prepositional 'since') to modify a noun in front?

Your sentence fragment is fine, but I think it remains a conjunction for the clause following: i.e., 'since...writing' is the modifier of 'years'.

Mister MicawberYour sentence fragment is fine, but I think it remains a conjunction for the clause following: i.e., 'since...writing' is the modifier of 'years'.Yes, I meant to say the since-clause is a modifier of 'yaers'. Sorry, it was a bit unclear.
So a conjunctional clause can sometimes modify a noun as this?
