Any Small electronic Distributor for 6cyl
I am now thinking of buying an electronic distributor. I have a rebuilt points distributor but it has too much advance. Rather than mess with this I'd like to just buy a new electronic Distributor for my Inline 6 250. Does anyone offer something that is closer to stock looking than that huge HEI? They just look to gaudy for me. Id rather get a whole new unit rather than try and set this one up with aftermarket kit....

Re: Any Small electronic Distributor for 6cyl
Some years ago I bought an Accel Blueprint Points L6 Distributor [rebuilt AC/Delco]. I left it on the shelf and forgot I had it. I was happy, I thought, with points, since I could replace tune-up parts nearly blindfolded.
I rebuilt my 292 and got it on the road in Jan 2005. I decided it was time to go electronic. I got a Pertronix Ignitor II set up. It bolts right into the stock AC/Delco distributor and uses the same cap and rotor. A reluctor and magnetic pick-up drop in where the points breaker plate was. From the outside it looks like a stock points distributor. But the performance is awesome. The Accel unit came with an adjustable Crane Cam-type vacuum advance canister. However I think the Accel Blueprint Points Distributer for Chevy L6 is obsolete or no longer available. I couldn't find it in a 2005 catalog. You might try Tom Langdon's: www.stoveboltengineco.com He specializes in the L6 engines. Pertronix is available at Jegs and Summit. Good luck.

Re: Any Small electronic Distributor for 6cyl
The Pertronix ignitor is a good choice, or a Unilite conversion. I believe you can still buy a Unilite complete distributor, but they are expensive. Personally, I'd just put an HEI in it and deal with the fact it would look like a '79 factory install and not a '69.
