hei issue
Anyone else run into this problem, just dropped in a 65k hei from Skip White, the vacum advance hits the manifold and blocks the manifold vacum port, Im hoping that once I get it wired up and timed that the correct timing postion will take the vac adv far enough clockwise to get it out of the way, anyone else have an issue with this

Re: hei issue
Yea thats how it was for me too, i just put an elbow on it and pointed it the other way, i used a fuel line to attach to the elbow to give something for the hose to go over. Here is the elbow i used, although its not pointed that way anymore. i have it pointed to the drivers side.

Re: hei issue
why is the vacuum can off by almost 1/4 turn? I would stick with a good GM HEI.

Re: hei issue
Can't you just move the plug wires all over one hole and then move the whole distributer back some?

Re: hei issue
Yes. As far as where the vacumn can is located it is just a matter of pulling the dist out, turning the oil pump shaft clockwise just a bit and reinstalling the dist with the can turned more to the rear. No need to move plug wires that way.

Re: hei issue
wouldnt you have to move the oil pump and the plugs, cause if you took it out at #1 tdc then move turned the oil pump and put it back in, the rotor will be pointed at a different plug

Re: hei issue
Sounds like you are off one tooth on the cam with the dist.

Re: hei issue
Mine is pointed just like the one in the pic. you should be able to get it close to see where it will sit before cranking it. if its not pointing the right way you are off a tooth.

Also, it may be easier for some to just move the plug wires around 1 terminal on the dist cap then readjust the timing.
