HEI distributors in a 235?
 

Lots more 235 six cylinder action here than in the later years, so I'm asking if anyone in this crowd has installed one of these HEI dizzies in their truck.

I've seen prices from $66 up to over $300 for what seems a similar set up.
I'm gonna put new ignition in my '62 and could used constructive feedback if ya'll are inclined. Thanks in advance.

At the price I'd think it would be worth taking a chance on it.

There are some threads on the net on how to modify a stock 250 Hei to work on a 216 or 235 and it doesn't appear to be too difficult.
Here is one https://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/s.../fromsearch/1/

I put a simular one in my '57 235, had clearance issues with side cover on the engine. A little grinding on the distributor base made it work, have not drove it with this system yet.

I dropped in the Pertronix retro in about 25 minutes and am really happy with it. Have you considered it?

Yes, have put a few of those solid state retro fit modules in other V8 projects, but this particular 6 cylinder distributor is shot and not a candidate. Since I need a whole new diz, I was thinking this way looked more economical, that is, if it fits and works well.

I saved this link a long time ago, when thinking about doing this. Good site for DIYs.

I got mine from Tom Langdon. Have not installed yet but he has a great reputation
